This essay was created from the encounter of a resident body with the daily care of a Mental Health service, a Psychosocial Care Center III. The look at the lived experience, brought by Bondia, became the setting for countless reflections, affections, observations and thoughts that found words in text form, in a report of experience. Through a fictitious narrative, we sought to narrate and question the place of the mental health professional who constantly walks the fine line between care and control. Based on the discussion of the notion of health risk, this essay goes through the tutelage and protection practices dressed in care, that gain body in institutions and health personnel. In the encounter with the thoughts of Abílio Costa-Rosa's thoughts on the field of Psychosocial Care, a possible path of care was pointed out, careful and attentive to the labyrinths of the tutelage in Mental Health.
