I experienced similar a few times and my sessions were also usually nothing really hard. I wondered what caused those states and the closest correlate I could come up with was that it happened when I felt dissatisfied with the session, sometimes because I was hiding/avoiding something, I just would have liked to continue the conversation with the T, or felt that the T was not engaged enough. I often did email the T but it didn't really help (whether they responded or not), the feelings just went away after a few hours.
