Bringing compassion, healing, freedom and connection to humanity

Compassionate Inquiry

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté and further developed by Sat Dharam Kaur ND that gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction.

When clients perceive the therapeutic relationship as a safe container, compassion and curiosity allow them to acknowledge and examine the traumatic events that happened to them as children, recognize the beliefs they internalized, and feel the emotions they suppressed. This contributes to the healing process.  

When we release ourselves from identification with the stories and limiting beliefs we created in response to trauma, a new way of being emerges, leading to spontaneity, choice, expansion and freedom.
