Dissociation is on a continuum...when my T explained it to me....He said it can go from highway "hypnosis" to DID. He didn't say I had it just that was the scale.
I had an incident where I was triggered by someone touching me and I zoned out..."lost" about 15 minutes of time. It was the first time that it happened around my family who were able to confirm the timing and the stuff I don't remember. But I didn't turn into another person....
If you want to find out if you have symptoms of did there is a test...I wouldn't worry about the score since it's done oddly but it is the questions you can see if you relate to like finding obj expects in your apartment you don't remember buying or losing days or stuff like that.
But your T asking if you dissociated during session does not mean she is trying to figure out if you have DID necessarily. People use dissociation as a coping mechanism when under distress and she may be asking to see if you are to judge the pace of therapy. Also Ts ask that in different ways for instance sometimes my T will say...where did you just go right now? I may not know just realize that the last thing I heard him say is not the last thing he said.
Maybe you are taking her discussion to the extreme? I would definitely want to check with the T to see what her reasoning is behind the questions...
