That is a wonderful description of what happens to me. It is such a primitive reaction. With me, it appears to be abandonment fears, although I have the same response to any suggestion that I might have done something "bad".
And yes, at the moment anyway I feel very lucky to have such a good therapist. When he returned my call, I was deep in one of my "involuntary naps" that I use to distance myself from unpleasant experiences, and in fact I admitted that I had trouble remembering what had happened already. It was really terrific of him to realize that we needed to discuss it before I had intellectualized it beyond recognition. And I feel that it was a very productive session.
