I'm less worried about this as my wife and I go to therapy together and separately, and she is a marriage and family therapist herself. I'm more concerned about myself not being able to rejoin tech when I'm not burned out anymore, or losing skills (not that I have many currently, anyway).

Consider using your time off to take up a trade. Personally, I’ve found working with my hands outside of tech cathartic (welding specifically), and will eventually transition out to either a trade or law after tech (where there is no treadmill, and taking a year or two off doesn’t sideline you permanently). Tech is like being a sports athlete or exotic dancer; make hay while the sun is shining but always be prepared for your next act.
