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
Are there people in your life towards whom you hold a grudge? Resentment creates a low frequency within you, so letting go of it in your heart lightens you. You don't need to see this person if it is not in your highest good to do so, but letting go of resentment is always in your highest good.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
I wish I went to this years ago when my husband first suggested it. I have a significant trauma history and have been numbing myself for years. For the first time, I feel like I can and will change my life and finally be the loving strong woman I have always wanted to be. I can also better identify my wounded self and tell her to get lost (lovingly). Dr. Paul is incredible! Thank you for sharing your love, insight and spirit!!

'I've been a member of Inner Bonding for two years & have always been intrigued. I finally came to the weekend session and it was more than I ever expected. Everyone should take this course. It is never too late to find peace, happiness & serenity.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
Carmen Huff
'I found it to be a valid approach to breaking down the beliefs, resistance that prevents me from owning my feelings and controlling or taking responsibility for my own actions. Though it seemed a lot to absorb in one weekend, it definitely gave me the resources to practice and learn more. I left feeling much more in control and with a sense of relief about some difficult personal situations.' Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10
