Have you talked to your T about this? I think it's definitely worth asking her/him about. If you explained it just like you did for us, T would be able to help you sort it out or refer you to a specialist if that's what you think you need.
I'm wondering if it could be tied to your OCD? You might want to research that a bit as well or talk with the T or Dr. who diagnosed you. Regression and dissociation are both defense mechanisms against something we can't face.

OCD is essentially defined as an anxiety disorder. The mind is filled with thoughts "If I fail to do something or forget to do something a negative will happen to me".
This thought is often fed from some subconscious connection of a past event in life. As an example, the person may have been told something when they were a child. “If you don't X you will get Y". Because of this a fear develops and becomes rooted deep in the subconscious mind.
It did not matter if there was any basis or actual fact that supports the reason. Because of lack of real life experience to test the statement the thought is accepted as factual.
Once that happens it becomes part of the foundation of that persons logic and thinking.Another example would be a traumatic experience.
A specific action to escape or end the traumatic event could be repeated to assure that the situation will not come back.
