A closer look at THERAPIST FRIEND
THERAPIST FRIEND is the empathy archetype that AdSense-quality content has to treat carefully: celebrate care without romanticizing self-erasure. High Loyalty and low Ego create listeners who under-claim needs. If Drama is low, you stay calm in crises. If Money is mid, you may also spend time like cash you do not track.

How to know you're a THERAPIST FRIEND
You are probably a THERAPIST FRIEND if you send the “how are you really” text, check on the quiet person, and give advice you never take. You hold space for everyone and apologize for being tired while still helping. Availability is your brand and your leak.
At work
At work, you become the unofficial counselor and onboarding safety net. Set office hours for emotional labor or it will invade deep-work time. Mentorship is a strength; unpaid permanent support is a role creep problem.
In friendship
You are the infrastructure. Groups run smoother because you exist. Ask friends to mirror care: someone else should check on you first at least some of the time. Reciprocity is not selfish; it is maintenance.
