COMPASSIONATE INQUIRY
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from, and guide them to the possibility of letting go of the hold those stories have on them.” - Dr. Gabor Maté
Background
I am currently training in Compassionate Inquiry, an approach to trauma therapy created by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur ND. So much of what impacts people’s sexuality is related to cultural shame, violence and other past trauma. I wanted to have a better understanding of human development in relation to sexuality, but also how we can heal from limiting beliefs and constricting experiences in general.
This program offers insight into how our early years influence who we become, and refames our triggers and difficulties as opportunities to discover more about ourselves. Through understanding the stories we tell, and allowing ourselves the freedom to feel and accept our experience we can unlearn the legacy of systemic and personal trauma.
My Offer
I propose three initial conversations at a reduced rate or on trade basis to begin. These sessions begin with your intention in that moment, and they are led entirely by you. My questions are merely invitations, and we always go at your pace. Following the first three sessions, we will discuss if and how we would like to proceed working together.
Next Steps
Email me at morgan@ooocollective.com with your availability for the first call, and anything else you’d like me to know. I am generally available Monday through Friday from 12:00 - 18:00 CET. We can meet online or in person if we are in the same city.
I look forward to meeting you x
About Compassionate Inquiry
“Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction.
When clients perceive the therapeutic relationship as a safe container, compassion and curiosity allow them to acknowledge and examine the traumatic events that happened to them as children, recognize the beliefs they internalized, and feel the emotions they suppressed. This contributes to the healing process.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and therapist 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. When we can release ourselves from the hold of these stories, a new way of being emerges, leading to spontaneity, choice, expansion and freedom.”
