Sometimes something triggers me to dissociate and sometimes there's no trigger. Last night it was very bad. I literally froze when i dissociated, couldn't feel or move my arms and legs. It also lasted a long time. I know what triggered it and i want to tell my therapist at the next session but i don't know how. I don't want to write something and give it to her cause that is even harder than talking :/ any advice??

I just went back to your past posts...it says you have problems with psychosis, hearing voices, hallucinations, delusions, panic attacks, depression, suicidal feelings/plans, you are on quetiapine and zyprexa, you have over dosed in the past couple months, you have a history of self injury, ....
now Im even more thinking maybe your therapist doesnt know what you mean when you use the word dissociation...
example the literally freezing can be part of anyone of your problems even medications can cause a person to become catatonic (unable to respond, freeze, feeling robotic (posted in another post)
it may be your therapist is trying to figure out how best to help you but they need more information like what you mean by saying you dissociated.
a suggestion...when you have noticed you have in your word dissociated write it down, when you notice what triggered you (one thing about dissociation is that it always has a trigger, in most if not all cases the dissociation type triggers are very easy to find, its what ever made you feel in your words dissociated) a word, or action that caused you to feel what ever it is that you are using the term dissociation for.
after you write it down it may be easier to tell your therapist what you mean by you dissociated last week. you will have the paper you wrote it down on to refresh your memory on what happened.
