The Inner Bonding Workshop

Heal the cycle of shame and self-abandonment that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, aloneness and relationship failure. Discover how to love yourself rather than reject yourself, and learn to make your best decisions through consistent connection with your personal source of spiritual guidance.

The innovative Inner Bonding process shows you how to:

  • Rapidly heal false beliefs about yourself, others and higher spiritual guidance
  • Heal guilt, shame, emptiness and aloneness
  • Move beyond self-judgment into self-compassion
  • Address the resistance that may be keeping you stuck
  • Learn how to heal relationship conflicts and attain the intimacy you've always wanted

This powerful and life-changing process is the result of Dr. Margaret's over 50 years of personal inner work and work with her clients.

Unless you were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to you, you may not have learned how to lovingly manage your painful feelings. As a result, you may be operating from your ego wounded self, controlled by your fears and false beliefs.

Your wounded self may often take over in unloving ways, trampling on your hurts, ignoring them or avoiding them with various addictions and controlling behavior such as: 

  • Addictions to drugs, junk food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, TV or gaming.
  • Co-dependence - trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance - making others responsible for your sense of safety and worth.
  • Staying in your head rather than being present in your body
  • Self-judgment, shaming yourself
  • Obsessive thinking, ruminating, worrying
  • Resistance to self, others, spirit - to taking loving care of yourself

These forms of self-abandonment not only perpetuate fears of rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure, but they can contribute to illness. Inner Bonding is a powerful process for healing self-abandonment and learning to love and value yourself.

Through discussions, exercises and direct work with Dr. Margaret Paul or other Inner Bonding Facilitators, you learn the Six powerful Steps of Inner Bonding.

"Transformational Beyond Words!  My heart and soul and true essence overflow with love and gratitude.  I'm so eager and excited to go home and do Inner Bonding, and share this with my husband and son, and most of all MYSELF at any given moment." Kripalu Workshop, Margaret Dean Godhard, Mom, Educator, Gainesville, GA

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.

"This Workshop (lecture & role-play) was very enlightening. I'm inspired to continue connecting with myself through internal process of Inner Bonding - daily and throughout the day." LA Workshop, 7/05
Sue Ellen Cheairs

'Having previously read 'Inner Bonding' I had the essential parts of this process already.  What I did get was more insight into accessing the higher source and how important that is to the whole process.  Not being a particularly metaphysical person this was a real accomplishment.  I also got an improved vision of what the wounded self is and why it is important not to confuse it too much with the classic definition of ego.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
Charles Halberg

"I am most impressed by how simple, yet effective the Inner Bonding process can be. I feel that I have grown from the experience and that I will use the Inner Bonding approach to continue my journey toward self-actualization."
Jeff Frymer

"It was insightful and sooo helpful. God/Guidance led me here to deal w/ anger which I did in chair work for the first time in my life. I was able to express, (in a good, safe way), anger at the past abuses and deaths of loved ones, the present, and allow myself to feel anger in the NOW. Thank you. Thank you sooo much!" LA Workshop, 7/05
Maureen Brugh

“It was an excellent workshop.  So graceful.  I really appreciate having additional opportunities to attached workshop.  Everything was amazing.  I really appreciated your openness and honesty.”  Nov 2018

'So helpful.  I've been out of touch with my feelings all my life.  I don't even know what boundaries are.  This seems as if it were created just for me.  The integration of spirit with deep psychological work is the missing piece in all the other therapies & meditation practices I've done.'    Inner Bonding Weekend Workshop, Rowe, MA, 4/10
