sorry I cant tell you what is happening to you, only your therapist can tell you that...
what I can tell you is that sometimes when I am in therapy and get stressed or dealing with something hard I will sometimes have what my treatment providers call a panic reaction to being triggered where it will seem like I am moving in slow motion or a watcher outside my body as if someone else is dealing with therapy. All my alters are integrated and I am now one whole person again but the situation is very similar to when I was DID.
this panic reaction in me is called depersonalization/ derealization disorder in me.
with me medications and grounding therapy techniques help so that it doesnt keep happening.
your own therapist is the only one that can say what this is with in you given your life, meds and issues.
my suggestion is next time you see your therapist maybe you can tell them what happened and ask them what it is called in you and how to stop it for you.
