[QUOTE=Omers;6503753 But today he just seemed totally floored by my response to an incident. Other times it is like you can see the computer in his head freeze up. I know I am dissociative and he is an empath so he feels it more than I do. But I just don’t know. It all just “is” to me. Yes, we can talk about it but I don’t understand his answers and he doesn’t seem to know how to clarify.[/QUOTE]
I think it is highly likely that in your dissociated state, you are misinterpreting his reaction as something it might not be. Before you make broad conclusions that he is "totally floored" or he is frozen up, check in with him about what you think. When I've done this with my T, I've learned the difference between what I think and what it-- especially as this applies to other people,
I am quite sure your T would not want you to hold back because you think he can't handle what you've been through. Listening to others talk about trauma is so much easier than living through it and disclosing it.
