Closures >  Per via della mia coerenza, il primo aprile 2019 sancì ironicamente la risoluzione del mio ruolo di creatore del progetto di prevenzione del suicidio e così pure la chiusura di tutta una serie di finestre d’opportunità aperte dalla collaborazione con l’ospedale. Non ero disposto a cedere a compromessi che mi avrebbero sì permesso di continuare a produrre effetti di rilievo sociale, ma avrebbero altresì corrotto il sistema di valori sul quale è fondato il mio intero io. Il momento in cui un soggetto si sottomette, anche se per un bene superiore, coincide sempre con…

Moving > Since I came back from my journey in Iceland, Oakenglass Suicide Prevention Project has progressed in a slow but steady way. For this reason, I’ve waited to have several irons in the fire before writing a new update post. Here they are (spoiler: we are moving big)... • 26 September 2018: we reached the 1.000 € milestone on Oakenglass GoFundMe campaign. • 05 November 2018: I met the hospital director to ask for the approval of my theoretic project. • 20 December 2018: the actual project, drawn up by the Psychology UOC, was then…

Chapter Three: Day

Chapter Three: Day > Red believed that, in most cases, one decides to begin a degree in psychology for two core reasons: to help themselves and/or to help other people; every further motive can be reduced to one of these. The problem is, during those six years of study, a future psychologist who has always aspired to pursue a different career than psychotherapy, may forsake the former and be seduced by the latter… only because of a way fatter pay-cheque.
