"Having studied Inner Bonding for close to a decade now, I’m constantly amazed how every time I attend an intensive [even one on Zoom], I learn how much deeper I can go in this work to grow my Loving Adult and to live a life of peace, and joy, instead of fear, anxiety and sadness.

"Attending a 5-day intensive with Dr. Margaret Paul is always phenomenal and uplevels your practice of Inner Bonding and your capacity to grow a Loving Adult with your Guidance in the most powerful way possible. 

"What's especially amazing about doing a VIRTUAL intensive, is not only do you get access to some of the best IB facilitators who are able to join from all parts of the world, as well as the company of phenomenal other participants from all corners of the globe who might not otherwise have made it, but you also have the opportunity to VIDEO RECORD your sessions with Dr. Margaret Paul. The value of this added benefit cannot be underscored enough. As you watch the replay of your Zoom recording, you can watch your face as you move into your Wounded Part, and as you open to learn with guidance. And as a result you can literally SEE yourself in the process of self-abandoning or opening to learn, moment by moment. There's no greater gift in my mind you can give yourself than this - the priceless gift of Dr. Paul's always spot-on insightful feedback, coupled with the recording of yourself and your habitual ways of moving from indulging your Wounded Selves to then moving into your Loving Adult with Guidance. And the feedback on WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR ESSENCE from Margaret and the other participants is priceless.

"My IB practice is up levelled at least 200% every time I attend an intensive. And while they're virtual, they're a steal without the costs of flights or room and board. Plus you get the benefit of bringing into the sessions actual real-life events going on with your family, friends, colleagues or lovers, so it's super powerful real-time practice. 

 "So if you're even considering deepening your journey to mastering self love, run, don't walk to join Margaret's next intensive, either virtually or in person. You will thank yourself for a lifetime that you did. "

"Inner Bonding is an empowering process that allowed me to journey into my emotional underground in a very safe and supporting way.  It provided me with the motivation and necessary insight for positive change and growth.  It has strengthened my sense of self and will undoubtedly benefit me for the rest of my life.  It is certainly recommended to anyone who has the willingness and desire to want to improve in every area of their life. Inner Bonding has been the missing piece that has now given me an effective way to resolve problems quickly with confidence, clarity and conviction. I am grateful for this new resource of self care and awareness." Santa Barbara Intensive, 2/08

'This was my first Intensive & found it to be a very safe space to help break through our limiting beliefs & barriers.  The energy of the group was very caring & I found everyone in attendance to be genuine.  Tears & Fears do surface but Margaret's technique in helping us to see the real person behind the fears is extremely powerful.  For me, personal healing & closure with many issues are resolved & will continue to as I continue to practice Inner Bonding.  This isn't a 'quick fix' system, yet a lifelong process.  Attending this Intensive got me directly to the root of many things I was in conflict with.  I would highly recommend attending an Intensive for real, serious, deep, intense conflict resolution & healing.'

'I really benefited from witnessing the processes of the other participants.  Their issues touched off my own and I was going through my own healing with them.  It was such a safe space for being vulnerable and doing deep work.'  Colorado Intensive 10.14

"It was a powerfully, transformative experience, resulting in a deep sense of connectedness within myself, with my spouse, and my fellow workshop attendees." Santa Barbara Intensive, 1/07

"I learned a great deal at the Intensive, both personally and professionally. Personally, through my personal work and the work of others, I have learned about the dysfunctional patterns in my life and how I can change them. Professionally, I learned how to be a better therapist by watching the amazing gifts of Margaret. Her loving attention to each person has been an inspiration to me, and the growth we all achieved is extraordinary." Santa Barbara Intensive, 2/06
