I get how T’s can switch from one client to the next client as they have to to be able to do their job. I don’t know how they completely ‘switch off’ at the end of the day. I know they need to leave work at work for their own mental well-being but I can’t imagine clients never cross their minds outside of the session. It doesn’t always have to be a negative way that impacts their personal life. I mean I work with people one to one in a very different capacity. It is not half as intense as a therapy session and I don’t know half as much about their personal lives as a t would abouts ours. They will cross my mind from time to time outside of work. Usually it is fleeting and I don’t ruminate about them. Sometimes something I see just reminds me of one of them and other times I might think of a problem they brought up. The point is they have impacted me , effect me and do cross my mind from time to time throughout the day or week. T has never said they think of me outside of session mainly as I have never asked and I’m not sure how they would respond if I asked.
