Dinah, I don't want to downplay a potential insight-i know how rewarding those can be! Dont get me wrong...
But yeah, if you are used to your T being the stable (and perhaps less energetic?) person he is-his behavior during that session could certainly put your mind in unconscious fear mode, which may have led to anxiety/dp feelings, especially if your parent or parents were very unpredictable caretakers.
Or-consider an abruptly shifting ego state resulting from the transference-which could be an insight, or rather, a source of an insight.
I know with my T, I have been consciously aware of my fear that he will somehow change. But he never does and the fear has lessened. Considering that, and the fact that I notice even subtle differences in his body language, speech, etc, if he showed up for session with a completely different demeanor, I'd probably have a panic attack.
