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
Once you leave this planet, you can't take back what you said and how you behaved. Today, evaluate how you choose to be with your family, friends, and co-workers. How much of the time do your choices with others come from fear and how much of the time do they come from love?
By Dr. Margaret Paul
'At the Workshop I reconnected to my higher self, and experienced confidence building to do the right thing. It gave me hope that my partner and I can learn the tools we need to have a healthy relationship, first with ourselves and then with each other. I really liked the Visualizations led by Margaret. I would recommend the Workshop because it is very reflective and so empowering to be given permission to take care of yourself.' Los Angeles Weekend Workshop, 3.11

"I have learned a process that I have been looking for for a long time that will help me move from my pain, depression and anxiety into more joy and enjoyment and fulfillment in my life."

"Wow, amazing how one weekend can be so impacting! I was called to come, the words aloneness and finding your passion/purpose was the main trigger! On Friday evening I found myself reluctant, thinking I did enough of that 'stuff'. I didn't think it would benefit me! But my intent was to stay until the cake was fully baked, so my interest was staying open and to learn. How wonderful! The process helped me to work out a big junk of frustration, hurt and anxiety. I really got an understanding where my wounded child caused all this and I feel a big amount of freedom and motivation to use the six steps for all other challenges. This process really can help me, will help me to heal my body and soul and to take care of myself in a loving, gentle way! Thank you very much!"

"If you make an opportunity for yourself to attend either a live or Zoom seminar with Dr. Paul, you will never regret it. It brings the Six Steps of Inner Bonding to life - a whole new experience and level of understanding. I did a Zoom 2-Day Inner Bonding conference and it was amazing. I have an entirely new appreciation and depth of understanding of the process. I can't thank Dr. Margaret Paul enough.
"I was a bit reticent about doing a 2-day Zoom seminar, wondering how I would connect with a group of strangers in a meaningful way. Now, after attending, I would highly recommend more Zoom online events. Dr. Margaret Paul. created a most wonderful, healing safe experience. Participants were open engaged and present. It was wonderful. Thank you Margaret.
I would recommend Zoom conferences to be an option even once COVID passes. It saves on travel, expensive foreign exchange, etc. Can meet Dr. Paul and others from around the world an connect in a meaningful way from home."
