Compassionate Inquiry, Yoga & Bodywork

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic/somatic trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Mate. It can assist with addictions and adaptive behaviours and beliefs that mask authentic self and that can get in the way of connection to the world and to essence. CI is a relational approach that is direct and focuses on subtle body, and sees all parts of self as valid (like in Internal Family Systems) and like in Polyvagal theory CI takes into account the state of the nervous system and what it does, how it operates for survival in response to outside events.
