My T is always talking about mindfulness. It is also a huge part of DBT which many T use. Outside of T, I have noticed recently that there are even mindfulness magazines at the grocery store now. I would not worry that your T is reading this forum based on a mindfulness comment.

I have also told my T that I hate knowing he is looking at me when I am doing EMDR. I told him I feel like an injured animal and he is looking at me with pity. I would think this is a pretty common issue as well.
