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

Love has no conditions upon which it is withdrawn. It is steadfast, even when we do not receive what we want and others behave in ways that we do not like. Approval comes and goes, but Love is, by definition, that which is unconditional. Strive today for unconditional love with yourself and others.

'I recognized the guidance part as integral to my healing and growth.  I had a couple of tremendous insights that were core for me and was affecting my relationship with myself and my daughter.  I feel very grateful for this teaching and expect my practice to be life changing.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08
Mary Beth

"Amazing!  I really feel it combines cognitive behavioral therapy with spirituality in such a way that is more healing and meaningful than just changing one's thoughts.  What brought it home to me is really visualizing my wounded child as an actual child and asking myself, 'Would I really speak to a child that way?'" L.A. Workshop, 1/08
Michael Porco

'I really appreciate learning how to love myself from someone who has walked the hard journey of learning to love & take responsibility for herself by opening to God's love & guidance.  It is clear from observing her that true love for others flows from allowing God's love into yourself to become your love of yourself.  Love it!'  Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14


John Burt

'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


Sue Fraser Frankewicz

"I recognize that loving myself as a Loving Parent is my most important act of love. It is the key to who I am in all my external relationships. As I love myself unconditionally I really do make the difference in the world as I so desire to be/do. I fully commit to creating my greatest love story with me. I turn loving compassion inwardly now." L.A. Weekend Workshop, 11/04
Kati Alexandra

'Wonderful, important.  Tools and focus/attention on how to love Inner Child better than I've ever know how to do.  Learned that there is so much more she needs to be given.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.10
