Yeah, it sounds like an emotional flashback. Like all the emotions from traumatized childhood are present; fear, terror, etc...but you still experience the world as it is. Having a foot in the past and a foot in the present. You should really bring this up with your T. I suffer from this regularly and it's f-ing awful.
Not tons in the literature, but a good place to start, I think, is Bessel van der Kolk.
