Hi Biiv...
It's possible there could have been some dissociative experience in there. It definitely sounds like there was some numbing going on when you were thinking about the painful stuff.
When you say that you felt 5 yrs old, do you mean you literally felt emotionally like a 5 yr old, you felt small and vulnerable, or where you just making a reference to not being able to think clearly and put your thoughts and words together?
I get tired too after an intense therapy session. Sometimes, I'm not aware of how intense a session was until I get home and have a moment to just sit and be still. Then all of the sudden it just kind of hits me.
It does sound like your body had a physiologic response to your session with becoming tired and weak and emotionally you just needed to go away for a bit, thus you laid down and drifted off. Do you think you were actually sleeping, or were you awake, but just not there?
I'm glad you posted. Hang in there. I'm here for you!!
