I often felt bad after sessions. Not dissociated, but stirred up, sometimes crying. There was a time when I saw my T at night and was his only client on that night. He didn't feel it was safe for me to sit in my car, so he'd let me stay in the office for @ 10 minutes while he went in another room to dictate notes. During that time I'd often sit in his chair, and that seemed to help. He'd come in when he was finished and either I'd leave, or if I were still upset, we'd talk for a few more minutes. His private practice offices were always quite private, so I never felt the need to "put on a face" when leaving.
