IN BROAD STROKES: A gallery of my youth

In Broad Strokes. A Gallery of My Youth is a hybrid literary work that combines autobiographical narrative, symbolic fiction, and reflective poetry to explore the process of emotional and social reconstruction of a woman survivor of abuse and psychological trauma. Through an artistic and therapeutic structure, the author transforms her life experiences into stories that function simultaneously as personal testimony, an exercise of resilience and a guide to self-discovery. The book organically integrates the workshop: >A narrative-therapeutic approach aimed at the mental, emotional, and social rehabilitation of the individual. This method proposes writing, reflection, and artistic expression as tools for identity reconstruction and trauma healing. The work is presented as a model of applied bibliotherapy, where literature becomes an instrument of psychological accompaniment and social support. Its value lies in the convergence between art, introspection, and peer support methodology, which positions it as an innovative proposal in the field of psychosocial intervention based on personal narratives.
