I probably would not know about the therapist or a stranger. I don't usually think about whether strangers (and I count therapists among them) are sad or not - there is nothing I can do about it and it is none of my business. I do not wish them ill. Plus the question is how does a therapist handle your empathy for them - even if I did have empathy I am unlikely to show it - it is not any of my business. I don't like it when strangers presume to know if I am sad or whatever or intrude upon me if I am- it is none of their business - why would I try to inflict upon them something I dislike?
Plus I did say I did not want to accidentally kill her.
