Did he actually tell you that you were sexy, in that he finds you sexy? It is hard to assess how appropriate or inappropriate this would be, without knowing more about the context of the dialogue and the tone, etc. I can envision some instances where this would not be a violation of boundaries, such as if the client is sending sexual signals through the way she dresses, body language, etc, and has very little awareness of these signals, it might help to bring that to the client's awareness so she can "own" that part of herself, rather than send out messages that she is rather disconnected from.
Noa, we were on the subject of my ultra succesful sister who got more brains, better looks, good health... I was saying that I didn't get looks. Then he said that I was sexy and had a presence and what else did I need? It was the end of the appointment, and we resolved to continue the topic next time. Was his statement innapropriate? I'm not objective enough to discern that. I loved it, and I'm in love.
