Can you elaborate on what you mean by “one sided culture of professional responsibility”?

This is an example of negative self talk, stop this, the reason you are broken is because you are trying to fix something, this just leads to more anxiety.

Most self-improvement content by developers for developers tends to be very negative like I can't explain it really well but to compare it to this sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85HT4Om6JT4

I did not perceive it as a self improvement piece that much but you are absolutely spot on: the professional responsibilities are unevenly distributed.
