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
How often do you take good care of yourself until you are around another person with whom you are in a relationship? How often do you disconnect from yourself and then hope to get love from another? You will feel abandoned whenever you disconnect from yourself, and the other person will feel pulled on to fill you up. Today, practice staying inwardly connected all day.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
'It was a very safe environment to share deep emotional wounds with others & work through them without judgment. I was able to be honest with myself without fear enabling the learning of the process. I felt relieved to release painful feelings that I recognized the roots of but didn't have the tools to let them go using the Inner Child dialogue as a means of doing so. I feel the program was exactly what I needed to also recognize my own responsibility & make a commitment of healing.' Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14

"The workshop helped me see that there is a bridge between the science of
psychology and spirituality, that mind and spirit can exist harmoniously in one body.
The workshop helped me heal the holes in my heart bored there by the slow
drip of life's insanity." Omega Workshop, 5/04
Rhonda Gomez
"I was able to become more connected to myself and learned very helpful tools to start to take care of myself. I have been feeling very lost and abandoned during this past year & now realize that I had abandoned myself (just an observation, not a criticism)! I am very excited about bringing this all into my everyday life along with the Core Energetic training I am doing."

'I enjoyed the Inner Bonding process, it all came together and made sense at the 5th & 6th Step. I now look forward to applying it to relationships and my profession as an attorney.' Weekend Workshop - Kripalu - Lenox, MA 9.14
Joseph Tramuta
"I learned in a deep way that I'm powerless over other people's behavior and feelings, that I have subtle and complex issues of control and the only way to be free of the behaviors resulting from them is to take care of my own happiness and connect with a source higher than myself." Rowe, MA Workshop, April 2000
Kate Goldsborough
"The Inner Bonding Workshop has helped me to see myself more clearly. I've made a commitment to take care of my little girl and I'm looking forward to attending a 5-Day Intensive as soon as possible. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to connect with themselves and others."
