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

Embrace with compassion your wounded feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, anger, jealousy, guilt, shame, aloneness, rage, blame. Hold the wounded child and explore what you are thinking or doing that is causing these feelings. What are you telling yourself? All thoughts that create suffering are lies to ourselves. Discover the thoughts that are creating your suffering. Pain is a part of life, but suffering is a choice that results from our untrue thoughts.

"I felt that the information given to us was extraordinary. It gave us an outline and tangible steps and processes one could do that were unlike anything I had ever encountered before. What was most important, for me, was that unlike other workshops or seminars I had gone to, we were left with very specific ways to continue the process and a host of people (of course, including Margaret) whom we could connect to in the future." Kripalu, Mass. Workshop, 10/06
Lynn Weinstein

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

'I know I needed to work on myself and that I needed guidance in the best way to do that for myself. I've used many methods and modalities over the past 25 years. For me, the Inner Bonding process is a blend of all the parts of those modalities that worked for me. However they are all integated into one process that gets to the root of self love - truly loving myself.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.15 - Lenox, MA
