Compassionate Inquiry©
"Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you, as a result of what happened to you." – Dr. Gabor Maté
Compassionate Inquiry© (CI©) is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, an expert in addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the connection between stress and illness.
Using CI©, therapist and client work together to explore levels of consciousness, mental patterns, hidden assumptions, implicit memories, and bodily states—subtle signals that both reveal and conceal the true meaning behind our words. Through this process, clients gain insight into unconscious dynamics shaping their lives and learn how to free themselves from limiting patterns.

“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, “Look here! This way!” That part of you loves you so much that it doesn’t want you to lose the chance. It will go to extreme measures to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don’t listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose.”
