What Is Compassionate Inquiry?

I am a believer in compassionate ways of working therapeutically. Dr. Gabor Maté developed the Compassionate Inquiry psychotherapy approach, which seeks to reveal what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.

Using the Compassionate Inquiry model, 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 using the Compassionate Inquiry approach, client's can recognise the unconscious processes that run their lives and explore how to liberate themselves from them.

“The purpose of the Compassionate Inquiry system 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 the Compassionate Inquiry system is.”
