Well.... it can feel forced or it can feel welcome or something else, I think it depends on the situation and individuals. I think it's lovely, personally, for a T to want to emulate a prior T a little bit if it's to help the client feel more comforted in the relationship. A nurturing, generous offer from my perspective, but I do believe it all depends on how the recipient feels about it within context.
