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
Who defines your worth? Do you give others the authority to decide if you are worthy or unworthy, okay or not okay, adequate or inadequate, lovable or unlovable? Does others' approval or disapproval define your worth and lovability? Today, give the authority only to your spiritual Guidance to define your worth, goodness and lovability.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
"During the workshop, I was able to recognize that my relationship with myself, i.e. the ways I take care of myself, were patterned after the way my father took care of himself and interacted with me. I'm now able to make a different choice to honor and care for and cherish the relationship with my self as primary."

'A wise and warm introduction to profoundly effective work. Brilliantly designed and warmly presented. As a professional I've seen a lot of approaches to personal growth & liberation and this is by far the best I've encountered. The intention of Dr. Paul makes all the difference; she is a gift to this culture.' Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10

"I found the workshop to be heart opening, leaving me also with a sense of personal accomplishment. I feel that I'm going away with an additional valuable tool to add to my healing bag of tricks. I especially love the inclusion of Spirit in the Inner Bonding process."

Amazing course. Helped me to open some deep issues and realize the root of it. Would like to continue practice Inner Bonding and want to attend an Intensive Course. Dr. Paul connected with each one of us and shared many personal experiences that was helpful. Thank you for all the knowledge. Loved that you have shared many personal experiences from your life.
