How come? Because of what dizgirl said?

I know Protocol brought up mirroring which does happen but mirroring and mimicking are different. Mainly mirroring is about reflecting the same posture or position...for example if a client sits with their legs crossed or facing a certain way the T mirrors this to try and make the client feel more at ease with them, it doesn't usually refer to copying a clients facial expression though, if a client is upset the T shouldnt look upset too - that would perhaps make a client worried the T cannot cope with the situation.
I think asking your T is the best idea  |
He didn't look upset to the point that he couldn't cope. I wasn't talking about something that upsetting. And his expressions looked exaggerated or fake to me, not like he was genuinely upset. I don't know why else he would be doing it, 'cept Protocol's suggestion. Unless I'm being too judgmental about his facial expressions. I don't think I want to bring it up unless it distracts me again the next session, but if it's really distracting I guess I might have to.
