You won't be too much. Your T really cares about you, and I bet he's been missing seeing you often and missing the intensity you bring to your work. I have found that my T, at least, seems to like the intense sessions because they give him a challenge professionally. Challenge is a good thing.
Also, I had a recent experience vaguely similar (although much milder, it sounds like). I was very relaxed and calm all day, and then I went to T (big mistake, right?). I mentioned that I was relaxed and then I was silent for a while. T asked if I was mad about something (there was a reason for him to ask it, but I wasn't), and I said, "No, part of me is scared. I get scared to be happy." And then burst into tears, which shocked me since I had been doing so 'well'. Those parts in you were waiting to get to the safety of your T's office to come out and show you and him what they have been experiencing. That's really good, because it shows you feel safe in his presence and like he can keep you safe.
It'll be ok. Try to take it easy (I know that can be really hard).
