Understanding Compassionate Inquiry
Have you ever felt stuck, repeating patterns that don't serve you? Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, is a psychotherapeutic approach that uncovers and addresses the root causes of our emotional and physical distress. It's a gentle yet powerful journey of self-discovery, helping you connect with your authentic self and release limiting beliefs. Find out how this transformative method can support your well-being.
How does Compassionate Inquiry Work
The Compassionate Inquiry® approach is a somatic-based psychotherapeutic approach.
We aim to bring safety to the exploration of self, the present, and the past. It can be used to accelerate the healing of individuals, communities and society.
We recognise that the primary source of suffering is our disconnection from the deepest parts of ourselves, often caused by childhood and intergenerational trauma. With the right attention, this connection can be restored.
Through the skilled and compassionate use of questions, the Certified Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner holds a mirror to your experience, allowing you to see yourself clearly, perhaps for the first time.
The intention is to inquire into each situation and your response to it, so that you can understand the underlying unconscious dynamics and their origin. Asking the right question at the right time may help you to identify the underlying, unconscious drivers of behaviour and can unlock a lifetime of suppression to open doorways to connection, expression, creativity, joy and freedom.
We would love to support you on this journey, to witness your unfolding and to experience what is possible. When each of us does this, the whole world benefits
