- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to destigmatise the normal expressions and reactions of people's psycho-biodynamic systems to trauma. A theoretical exposition will be provided on the effect of trauma on the bodily and psychological systems and on how SHIP® (Spontaneous Healing Intrasystemic Process) psychotherapy describes accessing the body memories of traumatised clients. The SHIP® perspective on trauma will be briefly contextualised in an attempt to contribute to the elaboration of the body of knowledge of positive psychology. The article will focus on reframing the chronic dis-ease or "pathology" of traumatised clients as activated healing messages.
