ANS: T
Clients may experience several emotional responses as they end their relationship with you: anger, sadness, loss, fear, guilt, rejection, ambivalence, gratitude, and affection. Clients may hesitate to express their emotions freely at this time. If they conclude the relationship without sharing some of these feelings, they may experience a sense of incompleteness. This "unfinished" quality may impede the appropriate process of psychological separation from you and inhibit the client's movement toward increased autonomy and independence. Therefore, we usually encourage clients to express their ending feelings.
