The Hidden Loneliness of Being the Therapist for All Your Friends!

Headline: You are the anchor. The listener. The one who always knows what to say. But when the room goes quiet, a heavy question remains: Who listens to you?
Synopsis: This video explores the psychology of the "Therapist Friend"—the person in the group who absorbs everyone else’s emotional chaos while silently hiding their own. We often mistake this role for strength, but in reality, it is a profound form of isolation.
We will deconstruct why you fell into this role (often tracing back to childhood "parentification"), the biological cost of one-sided empathy, and why you feel a creeping resentment toward the very people you help. Finally, we explore how to lay down the burden of being the "strong one" and return to a place of mutual connection and vulnerability.

In this video, we cover:
The Trap of Competence: Why being the "rock" is actually a defense mechanism to avoid intimacy.
Parentification: How childhood family dynamics trained you to earn love through utility.
The Echo Chamber: The science of reciprocity and why your friendships feel draining.
The Return to Vulnerability: How to stop fixing others and start being human.
