Daily Inspiration

How often do you tell yourself that what you want and feel and need is not important? How often do you make others' wants and feelings and needs more important than your own? How often do you notice that you are feeling angry and resentful as a result? This is your inner child angry at you for not loving him or her. Today, notice this without judgment, with a compassionate intent to learn.

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.
