This has been happening a lot to me lately. I've been zoning out at least once every session for about a month now. My T notices and will ask where I am or what's going on. Most of the time I don't know, I usually can't even talk...I just shake my head or say I don't feel good.
One time after I came back, T asked me what happens and what it feels like. I told him that I can hear him talking but I'm not really listening, my heart starts to beat fast, I get shaky and panicky. He told me that something he said incites panic in me and it means we're getting somewhere big. He told me that he wants me to tell him when I start to feel spacy and just let him know when I feel it coming on so we can deal with it before I'm too far gone.
I hate when it happens because that is when I have so much trouble remembering the session and what he said. I try to journal that night so I at least have some memory of what happened and what was said..it does help a lot!
