Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and it’s aimed to reveal what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. It inquires about the roots and hidden causes of behaviors, and patterns and helps to reconnect with your authentic, unbroken self.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.
Through Compassionate Inquiry, you can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run your life and how to liberate yourself from them.
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them …
That’s what Compassionate Inquiry is.”
Dr. Gabor Maté
