Randy Bonnom

**

After a fairly standard urban Midwestern indoctrination, Randy obtained a degree in psychology from the research-oriented University of Illinois/Champaign campus in 1973. He received his Master’s in Counseling from Regis University Denver in 2015, specializing in trauma & addiction. So, it’s the space between that’s most interesting . . . He wandered in the landscape of alcoholism and addiction from teen years to mid-thirties, grateful to have survived. The past few decades he’s invested his life in a path of healing & evolution, determined to find or create a map to that real place where grief becomes beauty & pain becomes joy. He’s often said the Trauma Integration Protocol is the embodiment of that map in 21st century lingo. But what about You? You, the one who’s reading this right here, right now? Something has happened. You’re seeking. Connection is a good way to begin. So, what’s your deal?

FAQ

  • An experiential body-based modality designed to resolve stressful life experiences

  • TIP can help resolve the primary causes of highly stressful or overwhelming experiences that may be adversely affecting your health and well-being.

  • Stressful or overwhelming life experiences can get locked into the nervous system and can remain reactive years later with the same intensity as the day the trauma occurred.

  • It’s intended to support the release of a stressful or emotional charge through the natural mechanisms that are part of the autonomic nervous system. Through a series of interventions, the goal is to shift the nervous system so that it can process and release these held experiences in order to feel a more calm, relaxed state of being.

  • Like talk therapy, you’ll begin with introductory sessions before moving through each of the five phases of the protocol, which largely use mindfulness and tracking of body responses as you move through recalling a stressful or overwhelming experience or event.

  • The clinical reports from using the TIP show no additional side-effects when used appropriately. However, during a session, it’s possible to experience some emotional distress or physical discomfort related to stressful or traumatic experiences you may have had earlier in life that can be perceived as negative. Some people have have experienced irregular breathing patterns, shaking, vibrating, seizure-like episodes, and body contortions, during a session. Unresolved memories may come up to your conscious awareness and emotional material may continue to surface after a session and give indication of other issues or incidents that may need to be addressed.

  • Cost, payment, and insurance policies vary by individual practitioner, and are not regulated by The Healing Trauma Collective.
