Does Catharsis remove the Grief layer even when hearts remain or the client is cured the same turn?

The rulebook's Catharsis step removes the Grief layer when the marker reaches or passes the Catharsis icon, and the printed hearts only set the starting total.

Yes. Catharsis happens when the Therapy marker reaches or passes the Catharsis icon, and it removes the Grief layer whether or not hearts still show on the card. The same turn can also cure the client. Using a Dream without reaching Catharsis does not remove the layer, and the hearts printed on the card only set the starting total.
