Powershell: How to pause an event registered via "Register-ObjectEvent "

Question

I am working to manage a recursion issue. My essential need is that when my event fires, I need to disable the event while my code runs, and then re enable the event at the end.

Because of code layout, I am looking for something like (pseudocode):

register-objectevent -name <event name> -pause=y
and
register-objectevent -name <event name> -pause=n

Does such a thing exist?

And if not, what are the alternatives to unregister/re-register?

And... is it even possible, in the action of an event, to unregister the event? (seems kind of circular and wrong?)
