When would this type of dissociation constitute "Co-Conscious DID?"

My t pounds coping skills into my head. I fully understand the need for them, and when I am in my normal, nondissociative state, I have no trouble practicing them. However, when I get triggered and dissociate, my normal way of thinking is just not present. I revert into feeling like a scared helpless child who is in danger. Then I seem truly unable to use the coping skills I have been taught. Even after all these years with my t, I am not sure she understands that this inability isn't because I am resisting learning coping skills, or putting them into practice. The problem is that I don't feel like "myself" when I dissociate. . .and so I can't think like a normal logical adult woudl think. It doesn't matter how many times my t goes over and over the skills with me. It doesn't get absorbed into that part of me that is dissociative and holds my traumas. I don't know how to fix that, and it makes me wonder more and more if I might be one of the few people who have co-conscious DID. But because I don't officially "lose time" (I know when I dissociate and don't feel like myself - but can't seem to stop it), my t just assumes it's not DID.
I feel a lot like this a lot of the time. I don't really have an answer for you. My T and I have written down cards for me to look at and use when I am feeling triggered like that and can't really remember or think logically enough to use coping mechanisms. Maybe you could do something like that?

I have been having this problem for 4 years now. It's really become a drag and I just want it to stop. Does anyone know of any medication that can treat this sort of thing?

Come on, I know I can glue myself back togetger if only I can find a med that causes you to feel intense, primal emotions.
