Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner
Compassionate Inquiry is a somatic based psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate which reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. It is a revolutionary approach that draws upon the fields of interpersonal neurobiology, epigenetics, polyvagal and social engagement theory, internal family systems, the understanding and research of trauma, and the body-stress connection, all held by a strong and crucial emphasis in presence, safety, and compassion.
“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
