There's no particular way you're supposed to react to something. Not everyone comes back from war with ptsd and not every rape victim cries themselves to sleep at night. It's simply how you responded and it doesn't say any more about you than the event itself (i.e., it's not a reflection on you).
You may be dissociating, sure. But you may just be really lucky or really strong.
