By making it possible to get to know the participants' life stories, Community Therapy can contribute to an invitation to think about the way humans are as a continuous conception/realisation of a project that finds in existential phenomenology the key that opens up a path to understanding the health professional as a subject, since as well as being a health worker, they are a human person, an active and participating subject with their own singular, plural way of being in the world, in relation to other subject(s). In this way, it also works as a mental health care strategy in primary care for users and primary care workers so that they can enhance their actions, enabling the construction of community-based social solidarity networks to resolve conflicts, both for ESF users and professionals.
