My T generally waits for me to come out of it. I think the reasoning is if I've dissociated, something doesn't feel safe to me, so I need time to feel safe before I can reconnect again. Sometimes I panic when I can't get myself back and then T will offer to help. He never just tries to bring me back unless I've agreed to it.

If I ask him to help me come back, he will. Sometimes im not able to do that and we end up missing most of the session. That used to upset me because I felt like I'd wasted the session, but I'm beginning to see that it can be helpful for me to just have some time where it is safe to be however I am, even if how I am is dissociated.
