Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur that aims to uncover the roots and hidden causes of behaviors and patterns. 

It combines various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, to address and explore the underlying emotional and psychological roots of individuals' issues.

Compassionate Inquiry encourages individuals to examine their early childhood experiences, relationships, and family dynamics to gain insight into the origins of their current challenges. By fostering a non-judgmental and safe space, the therapist guides clients through a process of self-inquiry, allowing them to develop awareness, understanding, and self-compassion.

Using this approach, both you and your therapist can uncover the mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, and body states that form the real message behind your words. 

In a Compassionate Inquiry session you will:

  • Gain insight into the core stories you tell yourself, the beliefs that guide your behavior and where they came from
  • Learn how to let go of those stories and beliefs that are holding you back and no longer serve you
  • Get to the root causes of self-sabotaging behaviors and addictions

At the heart of Compassionate Inquiry is the belief that every behavior we engage in makes sense, given our histories. 

It encourages us to ask "why the pain?" instead of "why the addiction?" It is a transformative method of self-inquiry that helps you reconnect with your authentic, unbroken self by exploring your inner world with compassion and understanding.

How does Compassionate Inquiry work? 

At its core, Compassionate Inquiry involves asking powerful questions that reveal the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, and body states that form the real message behind our words. By exploring our inner world in a non-judgemental way with curiosity and openness, we can gain insight into the unconscious dynamics that run our lives and learn how to liberate ourselves from them.

Who is Compassionate Inquiry for?

Compassionate Inquiry is for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their behaviors, and their patterns, or looking for self-empowerment and lasting change in their lives. By exploring the underlying causes of our problems, we can begin to heal and move towards a more fulfilling life. 

Compassionate Inquiry is particularly helpful for those who are struggling with:

  • Addiction
  • Trauma
