Intensives
Dr. Margaret Paul and other Inner Bonding Facilitators offer Intensives for both individuals and couples.
In an environment of safety and compassion, discover and heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that is the root cause of your anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship struggles. Dr. Margaret Paul and other facilitators quickly see exactly how you are treating yourself that is causing your suffering and gently guide you in learning to love yourself and others rather than continue to abandon yourself.
-
Heal the fears and false beliefs that limit you, moving into the ability to manifest your dreams.
-
Heal the abandonment, shame and self-abandonment issues that lie at the center of anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship problems.
-
Heal taking/caretaking control issues, resolving anger, withdrawal, compliance and resistance.
-
Heal fears of rejection, engulfment, aloneness, and failure.
- Heal addictions to drugs, food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, sex, and other addictions.
The 5-Day Intensive maximum of 12-13 people provides a safe, intimate, caring environment for individuals and couples to work in exploring deeper issues. Through Inner Bonding, you learn to develop a loving adult who connects deeply with your core self, your wounded self, and your higher guidance. We work with Inner Bonding six hours daily, giving participants plenty of time for healing work.
In the Inner Bonding work, the woundedness that started in your family of origin is addressed and you are helped to understand and heal your fears and beliefs that create anxiety and depression, and stand in the way of loving yourself and others. You learn how to create a safe space within which to resolve conflicts, as well as the necessary tools to resolve conflict in ways that lead to increased closeness in all your relationships.
"Margaret’s Inner Bonding Intensive was life-changing, and let me explain. I’m not using that as a platitude. What I mean is that applying her divinely inspired process to one’s life actually changes everything. Through Inner Bonding we are given the tools to develop an incredibly powerful and loving relationship with ourselves. We open to our innate beauty and tenderness and our deserving-ness of love and care. We develop a strong, healthy self-advocate who goes after our dreams, believes in ourselves, and creates magic. AND we connect deeply to our guidance, that wise voice inside that has profound answers for us. WOW! The experiential nature of the program makes sure we both experience and anchor these transformations right then and there, giving us a newfound tool belt for weathering the complexities of life with grace and joy. As a professional in the coaching / transformation field, I have pretty high standards (lol). I was honored to have been facilitated in such deep healing work, and new adventures abound in my life!" ~ Barb Wade, Speaker, Author, Coach
"During the intensive, my true self, the pure and innocent child, became so clearly apparent and vivid and now he is a part of my daily life - no longer neglected. This experience has truly changed my being and life." ~Mike Devine, Farmer

My experience in the IB intensive was more powerful than 10 years of counselling. My marriage was transformed when I attended my first intensive and then my husband started practicing IB with me and we attended together. We are truly achieving intimacy in our relationship. It has exceeded all expectations. It is the best environment to heal self judgement and shame. I have never been happier in my life. Dr. Margaret Paul models the healthy adult. I am filled with gratitude to have the opportunity to work with her. I would highly recommend an IB intensive to anyone who desires to grow in body, mind, and spirit.

The most outstanding moment for me in the intensive was when I saw [a member of the intensive] as a one and a half year old, isolated from family and all that was familiar, faced with the decision of whether to live or die. And she chose life. As I understood the majesty of her decision, deep respect for her poured into me and filled me to overflowing. I was awed and honored to be in her presence.
I had similar moments with many of the others in the group. I believe that it is from that position of deep respect for a person that I can actually be a conductor of love and light from God to his child. I want to do that.
Today is Sunday, our Sabbath. We are fasting today, and I was reading in Isaiah:
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?...
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
...and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.' (Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-12 King James Version)
So, Margie, that is my name for you : Margie -The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. I think it is a beautiful name that fits you well.
I love the new path that I dwell in. There is more light here. Thank you for the true reflection of who I am. I remember the look on your face when you told me about meeting me for the first time. It has been a great source of peace and comfort to me. Thank you."

'Being new to Inner Bonding, I was really nervous about what to expect, what I'd say, all of the control I was in denial of even having. My therapist said it would be life changing, so I was excited but hesitant. I can hardly even put into words the depth of the learning, the love I feel for myself and the other people here who shared, trusted, let go and helped me 'see me' in a new way. To give yourself the gift of an Intensive, is by far one of the deepest, most loving thing I believe a person can do. Take the risk and let the Spirit bring you wherever you need to go.'

"No other experience has gotten me closer to healing my core shame and realizing the manipulative power of my wounded self. As an MFT intern on track to be a licensed therapist, I highly recommend Inner Bonding, particularly the Intensive to anyone involved in the counseling profession. Inner Bonding is by far the most profound and effective healing modality I have experienced." L.A. Intensive, 2/05

'I've read so many books in self-help, attended many workshops, but I have never experienced something like Inner Bonding. It touches me so deeply and opened my eyes to see who truly I am, and gave me a powerful tool to heal any issue I want to heal.' Intensive, Colorado 10.11

'Margaret facilitated a safe space for me to grow and learn and share and deepen my understanding and ability to love myself. The Inner Bonding 5-Day Intensive experience and the beautiful people in the group will stay with me as a powerful reminder of what is possible when I dare to accept my vulnerability and ask for guidance.'
