I would not feel guilty in those circumstances. I can't really think of a situation where I would think I could (or really even would try - I believe in respecting choice) have prevented anything. But how someone else feels is not my problem unless I have actively undertaken to do something to them directly. I don't think it is a client's job to take care of a therapist's feelings
