The Holistic Counseling Center of Long Island is Compassionate Inquiry Trained
The Compassionate Inquiry® approach brings safety to the exploration of self – the present and the past.
It can be used to accelerate the healing of individuals, communities, and society.
Healing happens with compassion, respect and acceptance.
The Compassionate Inquiry® approach supports you in developing an authentic relationship with yourself.
We recognize that the primary source of suffering is our disconnection from the deepest parts of ourselves, often caused by childhood and intergenerational trauma.
With the right attention, this connection can be restored.
- assistance with managing (and even driving into remission) symptoms of auto-immune conditions
- effective support for people experiencing suicidal ideation
- supports you in developing an authentic relationship with yourself
- unlock a lifetime of suppression and open doorways of expression, creativity, joy and freedom
Notice your posture and the pockets of tension or relaxation in your body. What is present for you? What emotions are beneath the surface, waiting for your attention? What wants to be expressed?
Compassionate Inquiry® can help you to recognize that your conflicts, dysfunctions, addictions, anxieties, depression, and relationship patterns came along at a certain point in your life as coping mechanisms that helped you to survive. Once you understand this, you may realize that these adaptations are not who you are.
Who you are is your being, your essence, which is pristine, peaceful, aware and whole. It can never be damaged or broken.
Through the skilled and compassionate use of questions, the Certified Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner holds a mirror to your experience, allowing you to see yourself clearly, perhaps for the first time.
The intention is to inquire into each situation and your response to it, so that you can understand the underlying unconscious dynamics and their origin.
Asking the right question at the right time can unlock a lifetime of suppression and open doorways of expression, creativity, joy and freedom. We would love to support you on this journey, to witness your unfolding and to experience what is possible. When each of us does this, the whole world benefits.
