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

Today, really notice your thoughts. Notice which thoughts create fear, anxiety, anger or depression. Notice which thoughts create peace, joy, lightness of being. Notice how these feelings result directly from your thoughts. Thoughts that create pain are not in your highest good. Thoughts that create peace are thoughts that are in harmony with your being. With practice, you can learn to be more in charge of your thoughts.

"This is a very high quality workshop.  I have learned more in one weekend about how to live a loving, joyous and wonderful life than I learned in my 52 years prior.  The tools and process are practical, make so much sense and will be so valuable in my life." Kripalu, 9.17


Donna Dietz

"I decided to come at the last minute and knowing nothing about the Inner Bonding process or the workshop leader. I leave here today sensing that I can learn to better love myself and to love others. I will need to learn to listen to my body, to access help from spirit, to know that I do not have to be alone with my pain, and to honor the joy and peace within me. This has been a sacred time." 4/2002 - Rowe Conference Center - Rowe, MA
Carole Berkowitz

“Initially, I thought Inner Bonding was just another self-help program being peddled to unwitting people in desperate situations.  However, Dr. Paul’s knowledge of fear of engulfment was something few other therapists seemed familiar with, so I bit.  Glad I did!  This program offers you not only insight, but the framework you can use on your own to be self-empowered rather than dependent upon a therapist.”-2020

'I learned the difference between my wounded self & my inner child, the difference between answers, & learning by doing the work, & direct knowing.  The difference between taking, giving & sharing love, the intention behind my actions to gain control to get love, avoid pain & feel safe.  I know I have a lot to do, but as Margaret said it is never too late.'  Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14


Cathy Waechter

"I continue to be amazed at the effective life changing transformative power of Inner Bonding. It is the how to live your best self. Awesome workshop! A million Thanks!" Art of Living Workshop, Boone, NC, 4.18
