Different state of mind during dhamma talk

Has anyone experienced moments like being in a state of restlessness during a dhamma talk? A sense of relief, moment of temporary escape but yet the mind is actively running wild, almost gone into a state where one feels like tearing. I wonder if it could be due to the stress and sorrow the person going through, therefore the person entered into such state of mind. I always thought during dhamma talk, one's mind is supposed to be calm and steady or somewhat shielded from any harmful agent from the outside world. Anyone mind to share? Thanks!
