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
Become open hearted and willing to learn and choose to be with those who are also open. When two or more are gathered with a willingness to learn about love, there is the deep joyousness of connection.

'Loving, eye opening, heart-opening experience! Through Loving Action, I now move forward. I love myself, and feel like sharing that love - so powerful! Compassionate love is what Margaret is all about and through her Loving Action helps me (us) tap into that love. A true gift, accepted with gratitude. Thank you. I love you.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12

"After reading 'Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God?' and doing Inner Bonding for several months alone, and then with a facilitator, I still found the workshop extremely helpful. There is an endless source of learning and growth through this process and listening and talking about it with others is very helpful to that process. Margaret is amazing." Kripalu Workshop, 9/08

This course was very powerful in getting in touch with my inner self. I am a registered nurse and have had LOTS of courses and training in my nurturing, helping profession but have never had it taught this way. The times Margaret had someone up in front to work with were Powerful. Margaret is an outstanding speaker facilitator, getting deep to the core of relationships with one’s self as well as with others. She has a beautiful, caring heart! April 2019

"Dr Margaret Paul is an absolute pioneer in the world of healing difficult emotions, optimizing your life experience and moving through the world with joy. This workshop was very user friendly. Dr Paul was very hands on, did an excellent job with handling difficult questions and provided very tangible tools to apply the practice in your own daily life. The structure of this class and dynamic she created was a sacred container of trust, safety and transformation. Thank you Dr Paul. I look forward to continuing the learning and healing with you."

'I came into this workshop knowing only the information my Aunt fit into a 30 minute explanation before we came. Without having any background knowledge, I was able to gain a good grasp of the 6-step process and was able to truly experience more than I ever thought would be possible. Even if I were not to study this concept any further in the future, I feel like I have the tools to lead a more fulfilling life and love for myself because of this workshop.'
