Hello everyone,

I am usually *exhausted* after my therapy session and ninety percent of the time will lie down and take a nap

More often than not, I experience confusional arousal upon waking from this nap. It’s quite scary and I don’t experience it any other time in my life

(Confusional arousal is not knowing where I am or *who* I am for a few minutes when I wake up)

Am I correct in assuming that this is unusual? Does anyone else experience this?

I remember reading somewhere that sleeping can be a form of dissociation. Is this what’s happening?

We are going very slowly in therapy so I am really perplexed as to why this is occurring. I would welcome any insight or advice you may have

Thank you in advance
