Compassionate Inquiry - Swedish, English on Zoom or in-person in Stockholm

Joakim Appell

Joakim’s journey is one of profound transformation, marked by the tumultuous waves of addiction, trauma, and ultimately, redemption. Born into a family shadowed by the specter of substance abuse, his path was already paved with the scars of generational trauma. Raised in the confines of a strict and radical religious household, he grappled with the suffocating weight of expectations that stifled his true essence.

From a young age, Joakim sought solace in the temporary reprieve offered by drugs and alcohol. It was an escape, a means to drown out the cacophony of inner turmoil that threatened to consume him whole.

 In the depths of his despair, he stumbled upon a lifeline—a book by Gabor Maté that illuminated a path to healing through Compassionate Inquiry. With each page turned, Joakim found himself drawn deeper into a journey of self-discovery and introspection, guided by the gentle hand of compassion.

 

For Joakim, recovery was not merely a choice but a necessity—a lifeline thrown amidst the raging tempest of addiction. Today, he stands as a beacon of hope for those navigating the murky waters of addiction. 

In Joakim’s realm, healing is not a solitary endeavor but a collaborative journey—one marked by co-creation and mutual empowerment. Together, he and his clients chart a course towards wholeness, forging a path illuminated by the transformative power of compassion and self-discovery. Through his authentic presence and unwavering commitment to healing, Joakim embodies the very essence of resilience, inspiring others to embark on their own journey towards recovery and renewal.
