Compassionate Inquiry:
A Trauma-Informed Psychotherapeutic Approach
What Is Compassionate Inquiry®?
Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté and developed by Sat Dharam Kaur ND.
Dr. Gabor Maté, is a retired physician, bestselling author, an internationally renowned speaker and the creator of the Compassionate Inquiry approach to psychotherapy. Dr. Gabor Maté evolved this therapeutic approach over 20 years of his personal journey, and from his work with patients in family practice, palliative care, and addiction. He developed his system further while facilitating integration workshops focused on healing trauma through the use of psychedelics.
In counselling sessions Henri uses Compassionate Inquiry along with Kinesiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Energetic Medicine and Somatic Experiencing techniques.
Helping clients with Autoimmune Diseases, Trauma, Addiction, Anxiety and ADHD. All of which Henri has experienced worked through in his own healing.
As a result of emotional challenges and traumas in life, we become disconnected from our true/authentic self. In order to sooth and manage the pain this causes,
we form certain behavioural patterns or coping mechanisms which become entrenched in our lifestyle. We can use the bodies symptoms and conditions, to map patterns of dysfunction that put pressure on particular areas of the body.
We can look at our illness, health issues, and addictive behaviours as problems to get rid of, OR ask
“What is life trying to tell me?”
The body tells us everything. From the symptoms and patterns of dysfunction, we can find psychology and behaviour patterns associated with these allowing the body to communicate with us and teach us what it is they require to move them towards health and healing.
Empowering you to transform..!
Very few people have a good understanding of their illness or emotional state. Helping a client to understand and recognise the root cause and the drivers behind long held patterns empowers them to be able to release themselves from these patterns and remove the stresses on the areas of dysfunction in their body.
All that is required is commitment and compassion
to self.
