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
A sense of entitlement is common these days. People who feel entitled believe that they are more important than others and that their needs should come first. They are the takers. Caretakers support the takers. Caretakers believe they are not as important as others, that their needs should come last. Takers need to practice compassion for others. Caretakers need to practice compassion for themselves.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
'It was the right workshop for me at this time of my life. I found deeper insights into my inner self that offers me new opportunities for healing & growth. The Inner Bonding process provides me with a guidance to future growth on my own.' Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08
Raymond J. Crowley
"Although I have been doing Inner Bonding for almost 2 years through the books, I was still amazed at how I was able to gain some important insights into a problem I have been struggling with for about 1 year. So being able to do it with Margaret's guidance was wonderful. Not only that but, there was such a 'holistically healing' experience of being able to get away, eat organic healthy food, do yoga & meditation, that brought the point of doing Inner Bonding 'home'." Kripalu Workshop, 9/08

"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."

'I have been practicing Inner Bonding for about 1.5 years and this is the first workshop that I have attended. I am very grateful that I did finally attend. Hearing Margaret explain the principles, and seeing the process in action, helped me to get an even clearer understanding. Also, as a usually very reserved person, I was very pleasantly surprised to find how safe I felt, and how much I was able to open up and connect with myself and others.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10

'It was a very safe environment to share deep emotional wounds with others & work through them without judgment. I was able to be honest with myself without fear enabling the learning of the process. I felt relieved to release painful feelings that I recognized the roots of but didn't have the tools to let them go using the Inner Child dialogue as a means of doing so. I feel the program was exactly what I needed to also recognize my own responsibility & make a commitment of healing.' Weekend Workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 3.14
