ATAT -- that was beyond brilliant!

ETA: My actual contribution to the thread -- T doesn't mirror. Thank heavens. Or maybe she does? We both have little or no emotional expression. I sit leaning forward and she sits leaning back. On the rare occasion that I've slipped up and shown emotion, she has sharply questioned "What is that emotion?" (exact words). I mumble and then poof....the question works like magic because the emotion's instamtically gone. I've considered bringing in a whiteboard with highlighters to maybe just show a mapping between the couple of expressions I use that might appear to indicate emotion and the actual emotion -- so, that way, I can just refer her to the whiteboard and we can move on.....saving that additional discussion as well prior to returning to the usual no-emotion-anywhere-to-be-found scheduling.
