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, notice who is in charge - your ego wounded self, or your loving adult connected with your spiritual Guidance. Are you in your mind or are you present in your body, conscious and aware? The awareness of who is in charge will help you choose to be fully present and loving with yourself and others.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
"Margaret is an inspirational person that proves how powerful her teachings are just by meeting her. she is a true angel for this worl. I love how we can have a guideline (The Six Steps) that we can take with us throughout our life as a tool to become a better person in all areas." Kripalu 9.18
"If you make an opportunity for yourself to attend either a live or Zoom seminar with Dr. Paul, you will never regret it. It brings the Six Steps of Inner Bonding to life - a whole new experience and level of understanding. I did a Zoom 2-Day Inner Bonding conference and it was amazing. I have an entirely new appreciation and depth of understanding of the process. I can't thank Dr. Margaret Paul enough.
"I was a bit reticent about doing a 2-day Zoom seminar, wondering how I would connect with a group of strangers in a meaningful way. Now, after attending, I would highly recommend more Zoom online events. Dr. Margaret Paul. created a most wonderful, healing safe experience. Participants were open engaged and present. It was wonderful. Thank you Margaret.
I would recommend Zoom conferences to be an option even once COVID passes. It saves on travel, expensive foreign exchange, etc. Can meet Dr. Paul and others from around the world an connect in a meaningful way from home."

"Everyone is always telling me to stop being so controlling. Margaret is the first one who has given me the tools to do it - a way to reconnect with my core - my inner child - and learn how to take responsibility and feel the hurts that lie underneath it all. I feel incredibly empowered." Kripalu Workshop, 9/08
