I can "see" what my therapist is feeling, but I don't feel it myself.
I tend to react to what my therapist is feeling, but as a response, not by echoing it. And he definitely feels things in response to what I say I feel, not by echoing it.
He's not particularly good at detecting what I'm feeling, at least not directly. Over time he's learned my "tells".
I can definitely see where it could happen though. If you respond directly rather than indirectly to what you pick up from her.
