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.
Your own personal process
This will be both an experiential, participatory workshop where participants will be guided through their own personal process, as well as a training to teach the method of Compassionate Inquiry to health professionals, therapists and social workers.

See what others say about Gabor Maté
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.
Naomi Klein, Author & Award-winning Journalist
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.
Rob Reiner, Filmmaker, Actor, Producer
