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

When someone behaves in a way you don't like, you have only three choices: accept them while compassionately embracing your feelings, open to learning to reach understanding and acceptance, or accept that their behavior is not tolerable to you and leave. Changing them is not an option, for only they can change themselves, and only if they want to.

This workshop is a game changer.  A life-changing experience in which I learned to open up to long–buried hurt from childhood and to understand and recognize how my behavior has been a direct result of my childhood defense mechanism, which I was completely unaware.  The Kleenex boxes were very welcome and appreciated!  Really appreciated the compassion, warmth and professionalism expressed by Dr. Margaret.

"The Inner Bonding workshop has helped me learn different tools so I can understand my self and others more efficiently. I am happy to say it was a weekend very well spent. I enjoyed myself." Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
Colette Bertrand

I feel that this workshop was life-changing.  Finally, after years of therapy and reading every book I could get my hands on, I have a tool that I can use on a daily basis that will help me grow to become the person I want to be.  The process and theory behind Inner Bonding just makes complete sense to me.  I feel that I can finally, FINALLY make some progress on the road to being loving and accepting of "myself and creating boundaries that are loving to me while not being controlling to others.  Thank You!! Can't wait to read your books and take a class." Kripalu

'Great to have reinforcement of Inner Bonding as the primary focus.  Enjoyed seeing the counseling demos.  Great to hear Margaret's personal experience also.  Thanks.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08
Herb Pearce

"Good balance of info and experiential process. I got to see and feel what it's like to deeply nurture my soul, stand up for my soul, and live in spirit. It's a practice for life, simple and profound. I got a sense of our collective future - what it's like to live in spirit, connected to higher self. We will have energy and creativity on the planet! Yea!" Omega Workshop, 5/04
Ann Slezewick

The 6-Step process is such a wonderful tool to discover yourself, to develop spiritually, to deal with emotional reactions, and above all to become a better person. Highly recommended.
