This article proposes dialogues based on the experience report of the formation of a therapeutic group called Traverse. The formation of the group took place in the insertion of Psychology interns in the Pedagogical Support Center of the Federal University of Catalão and had as participants students concluding the various courses of the institution. The Traverse was organized with the aim of promoting a space of welcome, interaction, reflection and pedagogical support. Guided by Historical-Cultural Psychology, it was possible to consider the difficulties, expectations and disagreements experienced during the journey in university, as well as contributing to the formative process of autonomy as a graduate student. Remote emergency education, insecurity about the future, whether professional or academic, financial independence and work, and frustrations about the chosen course were some of the affects that emerged during the weekly meetings. In addition, it can be seen that the remote format established for the group brought some challenges regarding its functionality.
