Even if you agree not to live together or see each other during the break, you can (and should) make an exception for therapy. A professional relationship counselor can help provide structure around your break and act as a mediator, making sure conversations remain productive. A relationship therapist is an outside, non-biased party who can identify where the communication is breaking down, and suggest sustainable, healthy ways to fix that.
You might also consider both attending therapy on your own, as well as together. If you or your partner feel that any unresolved, personal matters are triggering you or at the crux of your conflict, seeing a therapist one-on-one is an important part of the break.
