Body map of the participant ID 4. A large heart surrounding her body represented her “need to love herself”. The words on the top of the map express how she perceived herself: “incoerente, autêntica” (incoherent and authentic), and the phrase “vale a pena viver” (“It is worth living”), denoting her hope relating to the future (a). She also drew a house and used the word “harmonia” (harmony), representing herself and a man, and the word “destruir” (destroy), representing her need to rebuild herself (a). The word “paz” (peace) was in a globe symbolizing the world (a). The dark traces in her chest were explained as a broken heart related to her conflictive relationship with her late mother (b); in her abdomen, the five uteruses represented her five children (c); dollar signs represented her financial problems; the box and book represented a desire to study; the open eyes represented her “need to look to herself” (d).
