not sure where to ask this, but since it happens lately when I'm starting to dissociate in session, I guess here's a good place to ask...

Recently (like in the last 4 months or so), something weird has been happening to me when I get stressed, mostly when I start to dissociate: I can be listening to someone, but what they say suddenly no longer makes any sense. I can understand the individual words they are saying, but cannot put meaning to the sentence or sentiment. It most recently happened in my last therapy session. The therapist was asking me questions, and I couldn't understand what she was saying. I told her this, and she suggested that maybe she was being too abstract in her dialogue. Since she is a new T, I kinda just went with it (maybe she is and I'm just stressing a lot in session). But this wasn't the first time it happened to me. It has happened before with my previous T, and sometimes it happens when I'm talking to people about other random things. I can hear the words, I can know their induvidual meaning, but I can't string those meanings together to get the full gist of what the person is saying. It's very frustrating.

Has anyone else had anything like this? It's kinda disturbing...
