compassionate inquiry
What is Compassionate Inquiry?
Compassionate Inquiry is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic approach designed to help you uncover and understand the deep-seated beliefs, patterns, and emotional wounds that shape your thoughts, behaviours, and overall well-being. Developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, this method creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore your inner world with curiosity, self-awareness, and self-compassion.
Through mindful questioning, deep listening, and somatic awareness, a Compassionate Inquiry therapist helps you identify the unconscious stories and protective mechanisms that may be keeping you stuck in stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or past trauma. By bringing these patterns to light with gentleness and compassion, you can begin to release emotional burdens and move towards healing, empowerment, and inner freedom.

trauma informed somatic therapy
What is Trauma Informed Somatic Therpy?
Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy is a body-centered therapeutic approach designed to help you process and release trauma by working with the nervous system, bodily sensations, and subconscious patterns. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily focuses on the mind, somatic therapy acknowledges that trauma is stored in the body and must be released through a combination of awareness, movement, breathwork, and gentle therapeutic techniques.
By working with the body’s innate wisdom and self-healing ability, Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy helps you regulate your nervous system, reduce stress responses, and reconnect with a sense of safety and balance. This approach integrates polyvagal theory, mindfulness, breathwork, and guided movement to help shift trauma patterns and restore emotional resilience.
What can Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy Help with?
This gentle yet transformative therapy can help with:
- Releasing stored trauma and emotional tension from the body
- Calming the nervous system and reducing chronic stress and anxiety
- Easing symptoms of PTSD, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm
- Reconnecting with the body after experiences of dissociation or numbness
- Breaking free from deep-seated patterns of fear, avoidance, or self-sabotage
- Improving emotional regulation, self-awareness, and self-compassion
- Building resilience and a greater sense of safety in daily life
Who is TI SOmatic Therapy Best For?
This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who:
- Have experienced childhood trauma, PTSD, or complex trauma (C-PTSD)
- Struggle with chronic anxiety, panic attacks, or emotional dysregulation
- Feel disconnected from their body or experience persistent physical tension
- Have unresolved trauma from past experiences, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
- Experience stress-related physical symptoms, such as digestive issues, migraines, or chronic pain
- Want to cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and a deeper connection to themselves
What to Expect During the Session?
Each session is gentle, client-centered, and led at your own pace, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout the process. Here’s what you can expect:
- Grounding & safety – We begin with gentle techniques to help you feel grounded, present, and safe in your body.
- Exploring somatic awareness – You’ll be guided to notice bodily sensations, emotions, and tension patterns linked to past experiences.
- Regulating the nervous system – Using techniques like breathwork, gentle movement, and mindfulness, we support your nervous system in shifting out of survival states (fight, flight, freeze).
- Processing & releasing stored trauma – Through somatic exercises and guided exploration, we create space for healing, emotional release, and deeper self-connection.
- Integration & self-care tools – You’ll leave with practical techniques to continue regulating your emotions and supporting your healing journey outside of sessions.

While Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy is a powerful and healing approach, it may not be suitable if:
- You are experiencing acute psychosis, schizophrenia, or severe dissociation and are not under medical care
- You are looking for a quick-fix solution—this is a gentle yet deep process that unfolds over time
- You are actively in a highly unsafe or abusive situation where other immediate support may be more appropriate
- You are not ready or willing to engage with body-based awareness and processing
If you’re unsure whether Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy is right for you, feel free to reach out with any questions—your comfort and well-being are our priority.
