Abstract
This essay discusses possible paths to the work of psychoanalysts in situations of violence and rights violations, in listening to individuals who undergo traumatic experiences. For this purpose, it presents the relationship between trauma and temporality, discussing the transferential challenges of listening under such conditions. The proposed reflections are based on the experience with Casa dos Cata-Ventos, a strategy for the care of children and adolescents anchored in psychoanalytic ethics. It discusses the work methodology developed, which proposes to operate with time in its rearticulation. Such strategies allow the creation of a narrative time, in which one can speak and historicize what was lived and, thus, offer a counterpoint to the temporality of trauma.
