I know - it was very awkward, I got up to leave and she said, "Give me a hug" - it was very casual - but then she went on to say that I could contact her if I needed her, and that I should let her know how I go with clinical.
Then e-mails me a few weeks later saying it was innaproppriate to contact her - a lot of mixed messages!
For a client confused with her sexuality as it was - I don't think this was very "appropriate or fair", so it is interesting to discuss about - and how I would respond as a psychologist if I had a client was in my position at this time.
I certainly wouldn't tell this client they were beautiful too much (even if it was true and a lovely compliment!) and if they do not have self-esteem issues, I do not see how it could be therapeutically beneficial. Hence I most likely wouldn't hug them at termination either, nor would I say the client could see me again - then turn around and say that their feelings were being reinforced by seeing me, and I couldn't see them.

That is not therapeutically beneficial at all to the client, I find.
