This isn't really strange, but I want to post it anyway. When I sometimes look up at her wall and see the collage I made for her, I say "it's still there" and she answers "yes it's still there". Strangely comforting.
Another example, not what she said but her expression. We were having eye contact (not last session, but some time ago), not talking because I didn't know what to say, and suddenly she smiled but not her normal smile. It was a fake "clown" smile, too big. I didn't say anything until the next session. She told me maybe she was nervous, that she wasn't aware of doing it.
