It has been one week since our intensive came to a close, and I find myself quietly reflecting in gratitude for the experience. And yet, the first phrase that comes to mind to describe it is MIND BLOWING (although mind expanding would probably be a more apt term!). The Inner Bonding system is an amazingly inclusive approach to healing, bridging the gap between psychological and spiritual truth in a wonderfully integrative way, illuminating no gap ultimately exists. For me, this has worked almost magically, helping to connect different parts of myself which I've spent years fearfully defending. And on a deep, intrinsic level, this has created a more authentic, intimate experience of Self -- interpersonally and intrapersonally. I still have a long way to go, but somehow, I've walked away from our time together with a somatic knowing that I'm more than up for the ride -- it is indeed, as Margie describes, a sacred privilege. I met two of my spiritual guides for the first time on this journey, and luckily for me, they both agreed to come back with me to New York!

"To me, Inner Bonding is the action-oriented psychotherapy process that can be self-administered. Attending the Intensive workshop provides the foundation for discovering the path to freedom." Durango Intensive, 10/07

"I came to the Intensive with no sense of how to get to my inner voice. That my child was wounded was apparent in everyday life - interactions with my wife, family, friends, all were reflecting a desire to have my little boy taken care of - and of my desire to take care of everyone else. But nothing of me. After the Intensive I finally have access to the tools. I've found my voice and I intend to keep my child safe and secure." L.A. Intensive, 2/05

The intensive is a power pack of love for myself. A place to safely explore, learn and grow.

'All my life I always felt something was wrong with me and I felt very alone.  I tried all kinds of therapies throughout my life (I'm 58 now), everything from encounter groups, primal screaming to Hakomi, A&D Treatment center, Terri Kellogg, Intensive ACOA treatment, Hoffman Quadrinity Process to Avatar to private therapists and counsellors, to 12 Step groups to religions, and A Course in Miracles.  Although I felt relief from all of them and it kept me going, I was always left with me, the woman who never feels good enough, feels alone and lonely, very knowledgeable and educated but still unworthy and did I say alone and lonely?  Yeah, that continued.  I didn't know how to end this torture of being me.  I blamed it on my abusive childhood and most of all on me for being a loser and screw up.  Inner Bonding is the 1st therapeutic intervention that has taught me how to love myself.  It is a 'simple process', but not easy.  But now I know I have a model of recovery of self love that does work and will work if I work it.'   Colorado Intensive, 10.11

The changes since the Inner Bonding intensive are fundamental. I'm enjoying the best relationship ever with my spiritual Teacher. The days of working hard to heal my wounds are over. There is an ease to the healing and living process now that is exquisite. As a result of this wonderful inner relationship, my outer relationship is changing. Everything I have dreamed of is becoming a reality just because I'm in love with myself. I feel deeply loved a lot of the time.
