I don't think about my colleagues when I'm not at work, why would therapists think about their clients outside of session? My ex T once said to me: "I take more space in your life than you do in mine, it's the nature of the work". That says everything.

True. I would say that if they they think of clients it is because something has come up that sparked those thoughts. I know as a teacher, I don't spend much time thinking about my students(in fact I very purposefully try to leave my students at work), but things come up that remind me of certain students at often very random moments. I suspect it's about the same for therapists.
