It depends entirely on the therapist and their ability to control what are natural human reactions and expertise.
I haven't had that experience, but I've had one of my doctors yawn (tiredness maybe, long day.)
Also, don't discount the fact that if a therapist is following one's discussion, and one is in a depressive state describing it intensly, the therapist can be sucked into that depression and has to stand back a little and figure out how to get the patient to refocus or they may look blank since they need to help you in your journey.
