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
We come to this planet to be all that we can be - not to limit others or be limited by others. Have the courage to leave those who desire to limit you. Seek to only be with others who fully support your freedom and what brings you joy. Seek to fully support the joy and freedom of others.
By Dr. Margaret Paul
We all have a great depth to ourselves that lies beneath the surface. I always knew something was there, but was fearful to explore. Dr. Paul’s Inner Bonding helped me to navigate to those deeper layers of myself, to truly understand my core self, which is who I am, unlike my wounded child that has fooled me for decades into thinking that is who I was. I am excited to put the Inner Bonding process into place and live a more honest and peaceful life.

"1. Tremendous amount of meaningful information, great wisdom. 2. Very thorough written materials; the most comprehensive and insightful checklists of patterns I've ever found. 3. The leader provided personal examples from her own journey, and answered our questions about how to use the process. 4. I feel very satisfied, and eager to incorporate this process as my very own spiritual practice. I was hopeful for this! 5. Flexible approach as to how we see or define our inner guides." 4/2002 - Rowe Conference Center - Rowe, MA

I came with the intent of uncovering why I have been turning to food/ punishing with food and I connected it with how out of touch I am with my feelings and being true to my inner child. I focus on others and take on their issues - it’s not my responsibility to fix others! I am not in control of others' actions. My intention now - highest priority is to love and pay attention to my inner child.

'I have known and read the Inner Bonding books, but this experience created the pathway for me to see how I can do the work on my own. Also in the safe, trusting environment I was able to allow or be willing to learn about a core wound that I had not connected to before. Profound - Thank you!' Dr. Margaret's love & compassion is incredible. Thank you for all that you do.' Week-end workshop - Anaheim Hills, CA 2.15

"I learned in a deep way that I'm powerless over other people's behavior and feelings, that I have subtle and complex issues of control and the only way to be free of the behaviors resulting from them is to take care of my own happiness and connect with a source higher than myself." Rowe, MA Workshop, April 2000
