Somatic Healing with Leigh Aschoff | Heart Peace Healing
Compassionate inquiry Honoring sessions are for you if…
you need dedicated time and space (sessions) to honor a process you are growing through (life changes, loss, challenges, confusion)
you need support and guidance from healing approaches to reconnect with yourself and your truth
traditional therapy or other healing experiences have left you wanting/needing more
you are ready to connect with your heart and body
you are ready to explore the wisdom of your body
you are ready to be curious about difficult emotions, outdated beliefs and coping that is no longer serving you
you are ready for a deeper clarity and freedom from suffering (new choices and options rather than the same habitual struggles)
you are ready for a more harmonious relationship with yourself, others and the world
Compassionate Inquiry is a somatic, psychotherapeutic approach developed by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and practitioner/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.
Through Compassionate Inquiry, the person/client can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.
It is a revolutionary approach that draws upon the fields of interpersonal neurobiology, epigenetics, polyvagal and social engagement theory, internal family systems, the understanding and research of trauma, the body-stress connection, and somatic practices all held by a strong and crucial emphasis in presence, safety, and compassion.
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them …
That’s what Compassionate Inquiry is.”
~ Dr. Gabor Maté
