It does sound like dissociation, and yes, it does occur in CPTSD. I dissociate daily, but am always aware of where I am, and can pop out of it when I need to, although I am sometimes slightly confused at first. I don't lose time (except in a few very rare circumstances, but then only minutes). Dissociation occurs on a continuum, and I am definitely on the lower end of it. I would definitely discuss with a therapist/counselor.
