Sumario:Feminist clinic practice as a method and theory invites therapists to constantly and critically analyze their practice, learning to recognize the influence of patriarchy on women’s stories of suffering and admitting their responsibility in subverting or sustaining this logic. The aim of this article is to recognize in the assumptions (whether in feminist studies or in feminist social movements) and in feminist therapies paths for the construction of clinical sensitizers that favor the (re)construction of self-narratives and the (re)definition of problems in women’s care. Based on this critical review of the work and the fact that women are the majority in the clinic, with similar suffering, it was possible to create, name and describe three clinical sensitizers: Testifying in protest, Patchwork of stories and Pointing the finger. Practicing politically positioned clinical listening suggests that narrative coincidences are denunciations of the cultural and social structures that condition the process of constructing meaning.
