I have no memory of what happens during these times and my therapist is reluctant to share the information with me. Is there a name for this type of dissociation?

my treatment providers call this .........in me.........., PTSD (having flashbacks is one of the more common PTSD symptoms)
people regressing to different ages can be many different things from normal to any number or mental or medical conditions. we cant tell you what this is in you. only your own treatment providers can do that, how they do that is by talking with you and also considering your own individual things like meds, health issues, diagnostic tests, what race/ culture you are and much more...
my point if you want to know what this is you will need to contact your own treatment providers, they will get you set up for the diagnostic process to find out what this is in you.
