It's great that you let your cover down and accepted her in. And she was gentle and understanding about it. She already "knew" but was waiting for you to give her the signal. Being dissociated is a safety mechanism. It allows you to check out so that you aren't completely overwhelmed. Take it slowly and let us know how you are doing.
