it does make sense to me. my t explains it like this - that i come in there with all my energy, whatever, and sometimes if she's not as alert as she should be to it she kinda gets drawn into it. In my own words it's like she reacts in ways that aren't really 'her' but are more like a reflection of my 'stuff' or something, in ways that my 'stuff' makes me expect people to react? maybe? something like that. i think.

eta after seeing trace's post: yes, my t said the same thing that she needed to be more aware and catch it in herself sooner.
