The late thing is huge because it is completely unprofessional. Only receiving a half-hour when due a whole hour is inexcusable to me. T has to understand she is dealing with a fellow professional who has a tight schedule of her own.
The hug thing is not as big a deal to me, but I hope she asked permission first. The "I like you" thing this early on in the relationship is a bit strange to me. My T told me she loved me, but said it at a very appropriate time about 6 months into therapy.
The lateness would probably send me running to find a new T. I pay for an hour; I expect an hour. T and I naturally finished about 8 minutes early last session and she got up from her chair, but I kept right on talking so she sat back down and we conversed. She stood back up at the top of the hour. That was great because I deserve my full hour!
