Welcome to SHIP®
SHIP® (‘Spontaneous Healing Intra-systemic Process) .
It was developed in the course of over 100 000 psychotherapy sessions with clients, by identifying their internal spontaneous healing processes and creating the most accommodating psychotherapeutic space wherein these processes could unfold and release.
The practical benefits of SHIP® as a psychotherapy model in everyday life are the following:

Wide Application
SHIP® is applicable to the treatment of a variety of psychobiological dis-eases.
Practical
It is a practical form of psychotherapy that does not focus on pathology but on healing and growth.
Measured Progress
The structure of SHIP® serves as a measurement for progress.
Individual
It allows for individual differences and pace. It is non-judgemental and follows the client’s own rhythm and tempo and respects the client’s feelings throughout.
Integrated & Holistic
It provides a focus on cognitive, behavioural, emotional and bodily experiences and is therefore an integrated and holistic approach.
Spontaneous Healing
It activates a spontaneous healing process in each individual and does not only offer temporary solutions in the form of short lived coping techniques and dissociation.
Psychological Integration
It focuses on psychological integration and freedom from painful and hurtful experiences.
Culture Free
It is culture free and therefore appropriate for use across all culture groups in South Africa and respects the client’s own frame of reference.
All Ages
SHIP® can be used with all age groups and has different categories that specialise in age appropriate psychotherapy.
Control
It helps to heal the past that contaminated and dictated a person’s life. It helps a client not to be a victim and slave of his or her circumstances and provides him or her with control over his or her life.
Positive Energy
SHIP® releases a great deal of positive energy within – it unlocks wisdom and the client experiences freedom that will allow him or her to accept the self and others.
Self-Validation
SHIP® improves self-validation and the client’s emotions are less fluctuating.
Freedom
Freedom from chronic psychobiological dis-eases takes place as well as freedom from projections.
Unlocked Creativity
Chronic life crises disappear and creativity in personal lives and careers are unlocked.
Self-Assertion
It helps the client to feel more comfortable with self-assertion to the degree that he or she no longer feels threatened by other people.
More Spontaneous
The client becomes more spontaneous and the constant sense that something inside of him or her is holding him or her back all the time disappears.
Integrated Self
SHIP® helps set up inner flow and integrated self. The hidden disconnected, spontaneous self is accessed, given identity and validated.
New Definition
Life takes on a new definition, the sense of losing out on life disappears and the client’s place and contribution in life opens up.
Flexible & Adaptable
SHIP® is flexible and adaptable, e.g. it can even be used with people with hearing difficulties and problems.
Inner Flow
SHIP® helps set up inner flow and an integrated self – the hidden disconnected spontaneous self is accessed.
