Autobiography
This is not a book about quick healing. It is a manual based on the Seven Arts, about how to improve your life and transform yourself.
An imperfect model for imperfect people
“I did not try to hide the darkness. I documented it. Because only what is acknowledged can be integrated, and only what is integrated can create light.”
Men with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) are stigmatized. Rejected. This book is the story of an underdog fighting to survive.
In The Art of Living, I don't just tell what I lived, I reconstruct who I am through every page.
The book offers universal solutions for those who have gone through trauma or angst.
Achievements and Mission
“Being a double valedictorian does not mean intelligence, it means discipline. But to emerge from trauma means, truly, pure will.”
I am an imperfect model for imperfect people. My mission is to transform trauma into wisdom and offer a path to those who feel lost.
Graduate with high distinctions in political science and administration.
Research on the impact of media and social discourse on mental health.
Overcome trauma through seven steps
Foundation
To love means to have courage, to open yourself to life, regardless of the wound.
Confrontation
Courage is not the absence of fear, but action in spite of it. It opens the path to truth.
Truth
Healing means looking the truth in the eye, no matter how painful it may be.
Balance
Knowledge helps you understand the structures that formed your trauma and overcome them.
Relationship
Open and authentic communication rebuilds bridges both externally and internally.
Anchoring
Presence means freedom from the past and future, being the only path to peace.
Synthesis
Integrating all arts, understanding that you are not your trauma.
Voices that validate the path
“Everything you have written surprises with a rare sincerity: the way you grew up between love and wounds, bearing from a young age the burden of abandonment and a world too heavy for a child.
An extraordinary capacity to transform chaos into story is observed through your sensitivity, through strong affective memory, and through Rivero's creative voice, building a dense yet painful narrative where absence becomes a character, the child remains vulnerable, and the adult looks at everything with empathy and order, succeeding in giving meaning to an identity formed in the midst of fear, love, and longing.”
Cristina Vasile, Integrative Psychotherapist
