Sounds True Presents
January 21–28, 2022
Join Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, two revolutionary voices in wholeness and well-being, as they discuss the similarities and differences between their approaches and answer your questions in a live, six-part online discussion series.
“Being cut off from our own natural self-compassion is one of the greatest impairments we can suffer.”
There is growing interest in challenging the idea of a single personality or self and embracing our multifaceted nature. There is also a movement toward uncovering the unconscious story we tell ourselves—and how to be free from it.
While these two models of therapy may seem quite different, they actually share surprising similarities.
For the first time, the renowned minds behind these two revolutionary approaches are coming together for a live online discussion. Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems, and Dr. Gabor Maté, founder of Compassionate Inquiry, join host Tami Simon in a six-part online discussion series.
“If you love what’s in your way, it will transform.”
— Richard C. Schwartz, PhD
Designed as a unique partnership between Sounds True, Dr. Maté, and Dr. Schwartz, these important discussions will focus on understanding the differences and similarities between these two approaches. The doctors will also be answering questions from series participants on their methods, their publications, their work, and their experience.
We invite you to join us for what is sure to be a profound experience for followers of Dr. Maté, Dr. Schwartz, and the field of trauma healing: Compassionate Inquiry Meets Internal Family Systems.
Gabor Maté, MD
Dr. Gabor Maté is an author, speaker, and physician who specializes in addiction, stress, and childhood development. His many books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No. His signature psychotherapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.
Richard C. Schwartz, PhD
Dr. Richard C. Schwartz coauthored the most widely used family therapy text in the United States, Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, and is the creator of the Internal Family Systems model, which he developed in response to clients’ descriptions of various “parts” within themselves.
