Before seeing him for who he is she took every positive thing he said to her and lapped it up like a kitten drinks milk from a bowl. He builds her up while she secretly craves love and is seemingly getting that love from him when he tells her she's pretty and he cares about her.

I'm not going to advise you because I don't know what's best. But for what it's worth, here is a sequence that sometimes happens:
1. The patient decides to leave.
2. The patient thinks, "I'm leaving anyway so I've got nothing to lose."
3. The patients tells T what he's been thinking all along.
4. This results in a deep and emotional session, and sometimes...
5. The patient decides to stay after all.
