I think it must be very scary for someone to have seen behind the mask a little. To notice that some part of you has gone into hiding. And is it OK that your therapist might value the part of you that you've stashed away? It all sounds like he touched a very sensitive painful place in you today.
I have always done what you do too - I dissociate but most people can't tell because I look engaged in the conversation, I'm chatty and smiley, etc. The shell that knows how to interact stays, the insides that feel run away.
Try not to close this down - it sounds really important. It is OK to be angry at your therapist, he'll help you sort it all out. I know it hurts - really hurts - so be gentle with yourself.
