Groups

The Inner Bonding Village supports a number of interest groups for the benefit of our members.

Groups can be for keeping in touch with friends that you met at an Inner Bonding Event.

Groups can also be topical in nature, where members can support one another with specific shared issues.

Group members can share their photos of events, such as Intensives, with each other.

Feel free to browse and join groups that interest you.

If you have questions, send a message to the group owner or just contact us.

If you want to start a new group, please contact Margaret with the category and name of your group.

Daily Inspiration

Controlling behavior is neither good nor bad - it just does not serve us well. It was part of our survival as children and now is causing much of our pain. Noticing your controlling behavior with yourself and others with compassion and curiosity rather than with judgment, puts you on the fast lane to healing.

By Dr. Margaret Paul

More About Inner Bonding

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, Ph.D. and Dr. Erika Chopich, Ph.D. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal the underlying control issues stemming from self-abandonment.
