Thanks LT and EM. I get triggered into the freeze response often, but never like this before. Normally I just turn away and shut down, but we have been working hard on noticing that and slowly bringing me back into the room. My dissociation seems to have got much better over the year we've been working together, which is good, and she was pleased I 'felt able' to say those words to her. Said I had no reason to be sorry. I think she sees this as a sign of progress, so I guess I should too!

And I've never really been in touch with my body much, so I guess it might be that it feels strange to react physically, because I'm not so used to it.

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate it! I think definitely something to think about with my T
