There are always things that happen to us and things that weigh us down. Do we always have to be able to do everything?
There are always things that happen to us and things that weigh us down. Do we always have to be able to do everything?
A necessary book that highlights the importance of mental health. A claim that access to professional help should be a right and not a privilege. A voice that is that of the young people of an entire generation.
In this graphic novel, Occi always postpones his mental health. He does not let himself be helped and believes that absolutely everything depends on him. He will try to camouflage all his discomfort and will look for thousands of formulas to remove it. To do this, he will say nice things in front of the mirror every morning, read numerous books that will tell him how he should live his life to be happy, make marathons of motivational videos that will repeat again and again that he is the only one to blame for his suffering and, of course, he will think a lot positively.
Little by little, during the deep conversations you will have with Morons, a safe space will be built where you will be heard and emotionally validated. It will be then that the possibility of asking for professional help was raised. Because how does a person know when they need to go to the psychologist? Does asking for help mean that we have failed in life? Is our motive valid enough to ask for help?
In these vignettes, Pablo R. Coca, psychologist and creator of the Occimorons universe, reveals an endearing story that excites, gives hope and makes visible the real problems of those who have put on the table the importance of mental health and normalize going to the psychologist. Paul gives voice to a generation that claims that you can't do everything. That we have the right to be wrong, to complain and to be heard. Because there are things that happen to us that end up weighing us down and that end up hurting us. And what hurts, needs to be spoken.
An emotional story about the importance of listening and being heard, of building bonds with affective responsibility, that asking for help is totally legitimate, that we are part of a context that we must keep in mind and that sometimes is the cause of our discomfort.
