Workshops on remote listening:

clinical practice with psychology undergraduate during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Considering listening as an essential device to psychologist’s work and the difficulty of experiencing it in graduate studies in Psychology, besides the periods for mandatory internship, the authors of this experience report aimed to describe the conduction of Workshops on Remote Listening with Psychology undergraduate students from several Higher Education Institutions in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic and to present results achieved. Using the collaborative hermeneutics method, ten workshops were conducted with 80 participants, in the Meet platform. A workshop was facilitated by two undergraduate students in psychology who were also undergraduate students in Psychology, with a maximum of ten participants and lasting four weekly meetings of two hours each. Various group dynamics and artistic resources were used and, in general, the results achieved were: for the participants, openness to experience, changes in subjectivation modes, resignification of the meaning of listening, expansion of awareness and the care for yourself and the other, and development of qualified listening; for facilitators, development of skills for future professional practice. Finally, when pointing out that workshops on listening, regardless of being remote or in-person, can constitute a clinical practice in the training of psychologists, they are powerful for exchanging experiences and knowledge, strengthening bonds, promoting solidarity, sharing of affections and emotional support
