As others have said, the therapist bears all the responsibility for assessing their own capabilities with regard to outside session contact and self care. It's in their ethical code.
You may not like to think about your job outside work but if you agree to overtime that's up to you. Therapists are capable of taking care of themselves.

I find this condescending and a little insulting as well.
Many people here are significantly struggling and need support. For some, the therapist is literally their lifeline.
Therapists chose their profession and if they mind being offering support while off the clock, frankly they should go do something else.
No client should take responsibility to care for a therapist, or question the boundaries their therapist lays out. The therapist is responsible for that. If a therapist offers support, a client should feel free to take them up on it, GUILT FREE.
