The Cost of Being Strong.

Описание: In this in-depth psychological film, we explore the invisible impact of "excessive strength" on our lives through five real-life stories. From Maya, the friend who always takes care of others, to David, who tries to be a perfect father, and Eleanor, the lawyer who never shows weakness in the workplace—each story reveals the cost of wearing strength as a mask.

We delve into the psychological principles behind these behavioral patterns, including key concepts such as "helper self-schema," "emotional labor," and "trauma responses." Beyond identifying the issues, the film offers practical solutions: how to set healthy boundaries, practice vulnerable expression, and build genuine emotional connections.

Whether you feel exhausted from relationships, family life, workplace dynamics, or academic pressure, this film provides an opportunity to rethink the definition of "strength" and helps you find a more authentic, sustainable way of living.

Have you ever been hit by overwhelming fatigue on an ordinary Tuesday—coffee in one hand, to-do list in the other? This isn’t just physical tiredness, the kind that a good night’s sleep can fix. It’s a deeper, soul-level burnout. You look around at the life you’ve built, the responsibilities you bear, the people who depend on you, and feel like an actor who’s forgotten their lines but must keep performing at all costs. You’re the strong one, the problem-solver, the listener, the provider, the one holding everything together. But what happens when the pillar starts to crack? Today, we’ll explore the hidden cost behind strength and how to reclaim your true self.
