About Compassionate Inquiry®:

Compassionate Inquiry® is a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic approach based on the work of Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur ND that helps us look beneath the surface of our stories. Rather than treating difficult emotions as problems, it invites us to explore them as guides to healing.

The Compassionate Inquiry® approach asks us to be curious about difficult emotions such as anger, fear, sadness and shame, and the beliefs that perpetuate these emotions that arise when we are triggered. Instead of seeing them as a problem, we can view them as something to explore, a gift that can teach us about ourselves, if we are willing to learn.

Through the therapist’s use of the Compassionate Inquiry® approach, the client can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.
