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
Someday, when we pass from this flesh, we shall sit and remember our lives together and only then will we know what it is we complete now.
By Dr. Erika Chopich
We all have a great depth to ourselves that lies beneath the surface. I always knew something was there, but was fearful to explore. Dr. Paul’s Inner Bonding helped me to navigate to those deeper layers of myself, to truly understand my core self, which is who I am, unlike my wounded child that has fooled me for decades into thinking that is who I was. I am excited to put the Inner Bonding process into place and live a more honest and peaceful life.
Jacob Kent
It was wonderful and challenging experience. I have learned that I tend to be controlling, demanding and impatient and these tendencies are not serving my core self. I find that doing this inner bonding practice frightens me because I have become so disconnected from my core self over the years. It’s took a lot of courage to attend the retreat and I’m very proud of myself for coming and committing to the work.- 2019

'It felt like such a warm, welcoming and nonjudgmental environment to go through the 6 Step process. Margaret was so authentic, warm, real and gentle and created a safe space for me to process with my inner child and connect with my heart and God's presence again. Best place to be!'

Susanne Michel
Enriching and empowering weekend of learning to take care of the most important thing in your life - you. Connecting to self and something bigger than yourself for guidance and healing were profoundly informative. Great price, gentle approach, accessible, embodied what was practiced, taught - great experience and role model.
