I don't think it's dysfunctional, but I need to have a word with him. You reminded me that he said something last week that kinda p'd me off (but I forgot as was a busy session). I had got stuck, dissociated and couldn't answer three question he was asking. Getting stuck happens every so often so it wasn't new. He said something like 'if we can't talk then we should stop using touch' (even though he knows the touch helps me stay rooted and not shut down etc). He then went on to say that I was eliciting threats in the other. To me it felt like when I'd been beaten up at school and asked what I'd done to deserve it. We'd previously been working on ways around the dissociation,maybe he's given up.
