Step One of Inner Bonding

Willingness to Feel Pain and Take Responsibility for Your Feelings

Move your focus out of your head and into the present moment, into your body, tuning into your feelings.
Breath into your feelings, taking some time to be with them - being with your Inner Child, which is your inner Guidance system.
Make a conscious decision that you WANT to take responsibility for your feelings.

More About Inner Bonding

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, Ph.D. and Dr. Erika Chopich, Ph.D. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal the underlying control issues stemming from self-abandonment.
