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

'I'm so glad and happy that I took this Workshop, it has helped me so much.  I can relate to most of what was covered.  I'm now taking the steps to love myself.  I always thought that I was going to get it from someone else.  I now know that I'm going to get love from myself.  Thank you.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 5.12


Paula Latona

"I now have a process for what had been a very haphazard and only partially successful means for understanding myself. Hopefully, this is just a beginning and the six steps will lead to action. Margaret: you are terrific, talented, insightful, with an excellent ability to turn a desperate group of people into an engaged, cohesive unit."
Wendy Rethere

I came with the intent of uncovering why I have been turning to food/ punishing with food and I connected it with how out of touch I am with my feelings and being true to my inner child.  I focus on others and take on their issues - it’s not my responsibility to fix others! I am not in control of others' actions. My intention now - highest priority is to love and pay attention to my inner child.

Amazing course.  Helped me to open some deep issues and realize the root of it.  Would like to continue practice Inner Bonding and want to attend an Intensive Course.  Dr. Paul connected with each one of us and shared many personal experiences that was helpful.  Thank you for all the knowledge.  Loved that you have shared many personal experiences from your life.

"This workshop reminded me to look inside myself for the seed of self-love.  Since learning about this process, I've reconsidered all the ways I've abandoned myself and started thinking about how much I need to water that seed, and really nurture it inside myself so that I can show up in relationships in a healthy way.'  Kripalu Workshop - Lenox, MA, 9.13


Kimberly Dessureault

'Amazing.  I came to the Workshop to reconnect with my desires and my Inner Child and for that it has helped me tremendously.  I also got a lot of insight into resistant/giving in and codependent tendencies I've had in many of my relationships.'      Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10
