What is Compassionate Inquiry?

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic method developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.

Using Compassionate Inquiry, the therapist unveils the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.

Deep healing and transformation

Through Compassionate Inquiry, the client can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.

Dr. Maté will model the process of Compassionate Inquiry with course participants and instruct therapists in the practice of this powerful technique to help clients access deep healing and transformation.

Naomi Klein

Author & Award-winning Journalist

Gabor Mat’és connections – between the intensely personal and the global, the spiritual and the medical, the psychological and the political – are bold, wise and deeply moral.

Rob Reiner

Filmmaker, Actor, Producer

I think a big part of gaining insight into substance abuse is an examination of its underlying psychological and emotional components. This is at the core of Dr. Mat’és approach.

Jamie Lee Curtis

“Author, Activist, Alcoholic”

Gabor Maté is a common-sense doctor and truth-teller. By looking at causes and their effects, he helps you find your way home.

Completion of IFS Level 1 Training is not required

Have a desire to embody the IFS Model – deepen the knowledge of your own system, and learn tools that aid you in this process.

How it works

The workshop was held live in March 2023.

The whole process has been structured so that you can go through it at any time, at your own pace. Explore almost 9 hours of video material – it’s important that you find the right space to immerse yourself in this process.

The recording contains didactics and demo sessions, so you will be able to do personal work in your own time.

Remember that you get unlimited access to the workshop recordings, which means you will be able to view them in a year or even in a few years.

This workshop series is not a Compassionate Inquiry training course, and Gabor Mate only demonstrates his approach. The official Compassionate Inquiry training opportunities can be found at  www.compassionateinquiry.com.

Opinions about this workshop

I found the workshop extremely informative. The interaction between participants and Dr. Gabor was dynamic and I learned much about my personal life through this. My understanding of the topic of trauma, disease, addiction, and depression was broadened in such a manner that I am more empathic. The application of compassionate inquiry was made practical and brought to life. I learned so much and was pleasantly surprised.

Irene

Amazing opportunity. It was great organized and the teaching as the live sessions with participants where so incredible to have the privilege to look and to learn about CI and the work of Doctor Gabor Mate. Thank you!

Andrea Porcelli

Excellent! I like the way it is broken into the two parts: teaching and demonstration

Workshop participant

Full of surprises, compassion and heartfelt insight, totally and absolutely worth doing if you are seeking answers for your own journey, or you are supporting others with theirs

Linda Illsley

I really liked watching the conversations between Gabor and the participants and seeing the process unfold. I also really appreciate the analogies or metaphors that Gabor uses, and his real life experiences to define/explain a term or approach.

Tinaya Jorgensen

A great way to complement the written work of Gabor Mate. The practicals where an inherent part of the journey. It shows how compassionate inquiry can be applied with laser focus to help mental health professionals identify the root cause of their trauma and get them on their healing journey, recognising it as primordial in order to help others. We need to heal ourselves when we are to heal others, with kindness and care.

Workshop participant

The depth of Gabor Maté’s words and gaze touched me to the core of my soul. An opening of consciousness and a subtle transformation process started after the workshop. I use the techniques taught in the workshop in my professional practice as a shiatsu practitioner and trainer to enhance my perception of what is not openly revealed. Gabor has created a safe and inclusive training environment where everyone was listened with respect. The one-on-one sessions allowed to make connections between theory and practice. Each participant was able to develop his or her ability to analyze and feel a concrete situation.
