Last session when my T asked me about how I felt about an emotionally stressful situation, I felt strange when I was thinking of how to describe how I felt. I felt like I was sinking in the chair (though I'm not moving) or dizzy, and all of the sudden, my anxiety goes away and I feel spacey and completely calm. Then I talk real slow. This is the second time this has happened. What does this mean?

It sounds like dissociation.
I always tell my therapist "I'm upset, and then I'm just... not. But I still am somewhere underneath."
It can be a coping mechanism, and one that I probably overuse.
Did you bring it up with your therapist?
