ABSTRACTIn this paper I provide a glimpse of work of the two‐year partnership between the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress Aboriginal Corporation CAACAC based in Alice Springs – a large health organization with five remote health satellite services – and Creating a Safe Supportive Environment (CASSE) – a small psychoanalytic non‐voluntary organization focusing on violence and underlying trauma in Aboriginal communities. The project is called Kurunna Mwarre – Make My Spirit Inside Me Good. I hope to demonstrate the potential role of psychoanalysis in experiencing and being present during the emotional storms of a people in traumatic collision, catastrophic change and uncharted territories. The racial divide and cultural contact giving rise to violence and trauma is the eye of the thundering storm. I also hope to demonstrate the capacity of Aboriginal people to transform the stormy ruptures to provide a living continuity in being over time and into the future.
