Healing Through Compassionate Inquiry
Dr. Gabor Maté
Physician and Author of The Myth of Normal
Workshop Info ▼Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic method developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. In this workshop, Dr. Maté will explore how Compassionate Inquiry can help 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.
Learn how this unique therapy modality can help you and your clients recognize the unconscious dynamics that run our lives and how to liberate ourselves from them. This powerful technique helps us access deep healing and transformation by cultivating presence, bringing attention to signals from the body, and creating a safe, sacred space between client and therapist.
Explore the hidden inner workings of your mental climate, understand the pressure that modern-day living exerts on your mind, and discover how to work with the physical impacts of trauma and stress in a live, interactive format guided by Dr. Maté.
Dr. Gabor Maté, a retired physician, is an internationally bestselling author of five books published in nearly 40 languages, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and his latest, The Myth of Normal. He is the recipient of his country’s highest civilian honor, the Order of Canada, for his ground-breaking medical work and writing on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship between stress and illness.
“Collective trauma is an essential dimension through which to view what’s happening in our world, and also how we move toward healing in the world.”
