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
Today, view people with your heart. Your mind cannot see who they really are. Only your heart can see who they are under their woundedness. Only your heart can see another's essential self, the true Self. Feel others true Selves with your heart, and feel your own.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
'This workshop is exactly what I have needed my whole life. It is life changing. Something led me to it that is at the core of what Margaret is teaching. I feel so differently about my ability to live a life worth living than I did before I came here. I am filled with gratitude.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12

"Twenty years of marriage, I never understood why my wife called me 'controlling'. I got it! The things I learned about my anger and how to own it, and lovingly learn from it are terrific." Rowe, MA Workshop, 4/08

"After 25 years of work/searching (primal, Jungian, rebirthing, bioenergetics, etc.) I feel open to shifting gears and using Inner Bonding as a 'day to day/moment to moment' vehicle for change. Margaret, thank you for your loving presence, abundant energy and clear presentation of a simple but comprehensive model for change."
Jim Albe
'The experience was wonderful. I have been practicing Inner Bonding for several months, and the workshop has deepened that practice immensely. While some growth is not easy, sometimes quite painful, I feel the process truly working to heal as much of what I was unable to face before. Thank you.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
Jan Borunda
"This is truly core work in the emotional-psychological realm. It has taken me to new insights and new vistas at many, many levels. The domain of spirit is so beautifully married to the 'family of origin self' in Margaret's work. [She was] magnificent, thorough, well informed."
Toronto Workshop, April, 2000
