[PK]

My only question is how bit of a penalty should I think of applying to the skills for such a talent.

Depends.

If you don't mind breaking contact for a second before reestablishing it (that is, you're not in the middle of doing anything that crucial), then no special rule is needed. After being forced out, you use your next action to join right back up, telepathically.

If you can't afford to lose contact for even an instant, then I'd call that a psi technique that added Reflexive, for 2 FP and a -4 penalty to your Telesend or Telespeak skill roll to get back in. You'd also have to make a second gestalt roll, as usual, unless you had Gestalt Familiarity.
