The spiritual journey and process of trauma healing are presented as aligned experiences that unfold together as we progress through healing into wholeness.
This conversation begins with Tiph’s healing journey. A highly sensitive, empathetic child, growing up in a family where emotions were suppressed was a painful experience that led her to heroin addiction— described as a "magic bullet," it numbed Tiph’s emotions but made her life a ‘grim’ period of survival.
She goes on to share how she overcame her addiction, and the major influences in her healing journey:
- Motherhood, a "massively heart opening" experience that taught her patience and selfless love
- Training with Eckhart Tolle's which profoundly impacted her ability to calm her mind and be present
- The moment of "oneness" where she realized her purpose
- Compassionate Inquiry’s skillful approach to "unpicking stories," releasing beliefs and emotions
- Psychedelics, which she finds very aligned with the Compassionate Inquiry® approach
Today Tiph feels settled, free, comfortable in her body, deeply peaceful and connected to the divine. The conversation concludes with an exploration of her current work with clients, in which she combines all her learned skills. She believes healing is "absolutely possible" and "more important than anything."

Quotes:
“To me, the spiritual journey and the process of healing trauma are not separate paths but deeply
intertwined, unfolding together in the pursuit of wholeness and inner transformation.” - Tiph Fedor
“I believe that at our core we are all the divine. What gets in the way of us knowing that are the
layers of self limiting beliefs, suppressed emotions, the trauma, the build up of all of that… it's
important to do the trauma work as with every moment of healing, a gossamer layer is lifted… a
slow and very beautiful process.” - Tiph Fedor
