Well I do not have DID but I do shut down in therapy when a T I do not feel connected with or trust gets to close to something. It is called "Freeze" as in Fight, flight, freeze or Fawn. I freeze often in therapy. Hard to focus and I barely remember details of what was being said. It sucks and I get embarrassed as I feel I should be an adult and push through it.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
