Community

Not everything we want to share happens inside a room.

There are conversations that deserve to reach further, questions that don’t have a simple answer and topics that gain meaning when thought through together.

This is a Space where we continue that conversation through the Manual de Desinstrução — our podcast — and the articles we write. Because we believe that some of the best conversations begin when someone dares to ask a question.

We hope you find here a place to reflect, demystify and, who knows, look at yourself and your “We” with a little more curiosity.

Podcast — Manual de Desinstrução

How nice it would be if all our doubts came with an answer. Or if there were an instruction manual for us and for everyone who is part of our life.

But if that manual existed, it would probably speak more about society’s expectations than about what really makes sense for you.

That’s why we created the Manual de Desinstrução.

A space where we challenge preconceived ideas, ask difficult questions and invite those who listen to us to develop a more critical view of themselves and the world around them. Because, although we are all different, there are doubts that end up uniting us. After all, we’re all trying to understand this place we call life a little better.

And we always want to do it based on science, without losing the lightness, closeness and humour that are also part of good conversations.

Episode 4 — Anxious about the future? We've got that too!

Episode 3 — How to know if it's love?

The world of dating, toxic relationships and the doubts we all have when we fall in love.

In the Press

If there’s one thing we love, it’s good questions.

Many of them reach us in sessions, others through social media, interviews or everyday conversations. And often, we realise that one person’s question is also the question of many others.

This is the place where we give them more space.

Because there are topics that deserve more time, more context and a read at your own pace. We hope you find in these articles new perspectives, answers to some questions and, who knows, just as many to keep you thinking.
