I think you experienced the feeling of getting your needs met. You said you felt better after talking to your therapist - you were longing for her and then you had her. And she "boosted" you.
It goes against what most of us were taught, but when those deep longings are met, even a little bit, they tend to calm down, kind of like, "Oh, OK, I don't have to be so big to get noticed and attended to." It is the same with babies and young children - we give them what they need and they settle down- they don't demand more.
I'm glad you are feeling better.
