My T does not show a lot of emotion during our sessions. She is nether combative nor overly caring. However, she is not just sitting there with a blank look on her face. I think she walks a fine line between showing understanding and empathy without supporting statements or actions she doesn't agree with.
She does self-disclose occasionally, mostly regarding her parenting challenges. I have never felt anger from her. A few slips of sarcasm but nothing offensive.
