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

"I enjoyed this workshop far more than expected. I got out of it much more than I thought. I thought this would be a fine tuning for me and I discovered it's more hard work ahead. I can see this is what I have to do to live a strong and peaceful life with myself. I want to feel love for me not self-hate."
Ina Klem

"This was my first exposure to Dr. Margaret Paul's work. This process was very unique in getting in toucch with your inner child, wounded self, and higher being. I really enjoyed working with others n the group and having the opportunity to open up and dig deep into finding the nner child I've abandoned. I was able to really understand what Margaret was wanting us to do in the exercises and I appreciated Grace and Carla's kindness and willingness to stop and really make sure that we got it. This is an amazing tool I have already started to use and am looking forward to getting to know my inner child more and more!  1440 Multiversity Workshop, Santa Cruz, CA 4.18

"I feel exhilarated by the openings I've experienced for my process.  Especially a balance of positive empowering tools for my wounded self while I'm giving my inner child more loving attention.  i.e. 'new job'; embracing, learning & dialog to core self, enhancing how to grow with loving adult guidance enhanced action."Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 10/09

"My experience here was excellent. I received so much more information than I would have expected in 2 days. I now feel that I have the basic tools to know how to take care of myself. All I need to do now is practice the principles in my daily life. I look forward to attending a 5-Day Intensive!" L.A. Weekend Workshop, 11/04
Karen Fowler

'As a 15 year old going to this Workshop with my Mom, I was obviously skeptical about whether it would be a huge waste of time or not.  But after meeting some of the people and getting to know them, I realized that my age changed nothing.  I was treated the same way.  And I guess that made me open enough to get what I needed out of the experience.  I feel so much more mentally prepared to take things on and I never thought I'd have that.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 5.12
