The Inner Bonding Workshop

Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.

The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:

  • Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
  • Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
  • Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
  • Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted

This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.

Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.

Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as: 

  • Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
  • Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
  • Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
  • Self-judgment, shaming yourself
  • Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
  • Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself

These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.

Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.

"Transformational Beyond Words!  My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude.  I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

Daily Inspiration

Today, notice everything you do that you value. Tell your Inner Child out loud things like, "Thank you, that was a very caring thing to do." "I appreciate your sense of humor." "I love your ideas. Thank you for your creativity." "You are a really loving person." Your Inner Child needs to be seen for who he or she really is, not just for looks or performance.

"This workshop has been magical and synchronous. I made connections with people which was exactly what my loving adult needed to do for my inner child. I also stepped in to vulnerbility and out of the wounded self by getting up and speaking in to a microphone sharing my experience. You are both (all three) amazing and I am forever grateful for this precious oppurtunity." 1440 Multiversity Workshop, Santa Cruz, CA 4.18

'This workshop was challenging, amazing, spot on - exactly what I have needed forever to move through the stuck (agonizing at times) places in my life & in my relationships.  I've realized that I have choice at my disposal, choice to come to my own aid & support rather than endlessly succumbing to feelings of helpless & victimized.  Thank you for helping me reclaim myself at mid-life!'   Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10
