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
Do you think more about what you have or about what you don't have? Notice the warmth and peace you feel when you are in gratitude for what you have. Notice the anxiety and sadness you feel when you think about what you don't have. Today, consciously choose gratitude throughout the day for every blessing that comes your way.

"Intimate, life and love changing for me. Has deepened my commitment to Love - of myself, family, friends, people. Has deepened my commitment of who/what I love already - Nature, Love, Hearts and unknown." Rowe Weekend Workshop, 5/06
Kara Masters
“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

"Was a painful but enriching experience. It helped unblock whatever was blocked. It game me new tools to deepen my growth process. Enjoyed it all. [Margaret was] excellent! Peaceful. Explains very clearly. I enjoyed listening to her." Toronto Workshop, April, 2000

'The Inner Bonding workshop has taught me ways to deal with my feelings like no other program, book or therapist. I am amazed at what the workshop had to offer and will continue to offer as I learn to apply the six steps of Inner Bonding. I know that stumbling upon the Inner Bonding website was a sign from my higher guidance, and taking advantage of this Loving action was truly one of the best actions I could have taken. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who has the desire of becoming a more loving person. I can't wait to attend an Intensive workshop!' Southern California Weekend Workshop, 4.13

“Stel is very informative, professional, loving, kind, caring, and patient. Stel knows what she is talking about. Her helper Sharon and Karen are two lovely ladies. They all made me feel safe. I feel wonderful finding my little me. I would do this again.”

"I feel like a lot of questions have been answered and that I have a whole new toolbox to take into the world that will help me love myself and those around me.
It was an extremely useful training in accurate self-care - an area where I have been really stuck. A few very important reminders, a few pieces of 'diamond dust' - new revelations."
Rev. Alexia Salvatierra
