Why do you think you try to avoid talking about dissociation? So many many people do it, it's not that uncommon with mental struggles. I bet your T. has seen it before.
My last T. had to point it out TO me- as it's what I've known my whole life-- thought everyone did it to the degree I do.

Just because something isn't written specifically in the DSM doesn't mean a therapist will dismiss it-- at least not a GOOD therapist. You are what you are and your struggles exist for you and a good therapist will believe that.

I hope I was of some help. I feel your discomfort and wish that you feel better about this soon.
