I think attachment to the T might cause maybe issues because there can be a lot of expectations around being there, maybe you on some level want to be more open or feel more closeness. You said the session wasn't too deep or intense - maybe you had the need to actually go deeper into some issues and when it's not happening, your unexplored feelings stay with you and you start ruminating.
Of course I cannot know how this is in your case but I'm going through something similar.
I'm lately always getting sad when when I see there are only a few minutes left out of the session - which sucks, I don't like it at all.
Maybe talking to the T about all these could help..

Hmm, I think you might be right. I definitely want to be more open and I do crave closeness, since I don't have it with anyone else. It's hard to admit, even to myself but now I think maybe I was upset because I actually wanted to go deeper. Last time we did, it was uncomfortable but I felt really good and closer afterwards so it makes sense I would crave that now, I just don't know why I keep avoiding it at the same time.
You said you're going through something similar, have you talked to your therapist about it? I know I should I just really don't know how to talk about that
