“All of Western medicine is built on getting rid of pain, which is not the same as healing. Healing is the capacity to actually hold your pain”— Gabor Maté
Compassionate Inquiry (CI) is a psychotherapeutic and somatic-based approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. CI is an interesting modality if you are experiencing (psycho)somatic, mental or emotional issues and if you are open and curious to getting to know yourself on deeper layers.
Together, we will dis-cover your triggers, thoughts & parts, personality, certain coping and defense-mechanisms, emotions, bodily sensations and beliefs.
Our connection and attunement will provide the safe, relational container that is needed to go back to your core wound. Along the way we will welcome everything that arises; we will notice the pain, give space to it and hold it, so that it can eventually be released. This process is called healing. When healing happens, you will get closer to your essence, and you will return to the love for your true nature. This is what Renessence stands for.
“Your sadness will not determine your life, what will determine your life is not feeling the sadness”— Gabor Maté
What to expect from a CI-therapy session?
We start each session with a grounding; so that we can attune to ourselves and each other,
You are in charge; you decide what happens, and I am here to support you,
You decide on the intention you want to work on during the session,
I will sometimes interrupt you with questions that may guide you deeper into the experience,
We work with the mental, emotional, spiritual and the physical body,
Everything that arises, is safe to be expressed. Movement, emotions, swear words and silence included:-)
We end each session with a reflection and a preview. What did you gain from the session? How can you embody what you have learned?
Your investment: -per session (60-75 min).
