Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic method created by Dr Gabor Maté and further developed by Sat Dharam Kaur, ND. It emphasizes that trauma, which underlies all human dysfunction and suffering, stems from a separation from the self. The aim of Compassionate Inquiry is to help individuals reconnect with themselves, allowing their innate wisdom to guide them towards healing.

The first step in Compassionate Inquiry is to identify how this disconnection manifests in the present moment. Exploration of the past and childhood is important to illuminate this process, but the focus remains on the present impact of these past events. The ultimate goal is to guide clients to the truth about themselves and the world, as only this truth can liberate them. The practitioner’s role is to respond intuitively and non-formulaically, guiding the client through the process of inquiry from a state of presence and fierce compassion.
