It sounds as though you've figured it out.
That whole session, as you describe it, though seems laden with things that might trigger melancholy. You talking about him terminating you, the fact you thought he didn't like you, the dress/make-up thing. It doesn't sound as though you two were just reminiscing. However, not having your pain recognized would hurt perhaps the most.
When things are good for me in therapy/life/work, I tend to go looking for things that are bad. Like I have to be prepared for what's *obviously* coming. Bad things are bad (obviously), but bad things out of the blue are worse.
I wish I didn't go looking. I wish I could just be happy with the way things are and try to take some comfort from that fact.
If you're doing what I always do, I wonder what bad thing it is you think you'll find?
Seldom.
