The Inner Bonding Workshop offers a definitive technology for developing a spiritually-connnected loving inner Adult that becomes the loving parent to ourselves that we may have never had.

Unless we were raised by parents or caregivers who were loving to themselves, each other and to us, we have not learned to be loving Adults. As a result, we operate from our ego wounded selves, controlled by our fears and false beliefs.

The wounded part of us often takes over in unloving ways, tramples on our hurts, shuts them out, or covers them up. This internal split creates the serious self-destructive patterns many of us face, such as:

• Addictions to: drugs, food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work or sex.
• Codependence: trying to control others with anger, violence, guilt or compliance.
• Fears of: rejection, abandonment, aloneness, engulfment or failure.

Dr. Margaret Paul and other Inner Bonding Facilitators demonstrate the dialogue processes with your Core Self, your wounded self and your Higher Guidance that Inner Bonding recommends for self-healing.

1. Exploring Your Wounded Self
2. Contacting Your Core Self
3. What is a Loving Inner Adult?
4. Releasing the Anger of the Wounded Self
5. Learning the Dialogue Processes with the wounded self, core Self, and personal spiritual Guidance
6. Getting Stuck, Getting Unstuck
7. Relationships: Handling Conflict and Setting Loving Boundaries

Other Facilitators teaching an Inner Bonding Workshop may change or add to the format.

CEUs are available for Dr. Margaret Paul's workshops and Intensives.

Dr. Margaret Paul and other Inner Bonding Facilitators offer five-day intensive workshops for both individuals and couples. The workshop maximum of 12 people provides a safe, intimate, caring environment for individuals and couples to work in exploring deeper issues. Through Inner Bonding, you learn to develop a loving Adult who connects deeply with your core Self, your wounded self, and your Higher Guidance. We work with Inner Bonding eight to nine hours daily, giving participants plenty of time for healing work.

In the individual and couples work, the woundedness that started in families of origin are  addressed and each person is helped to understand his or her fears and beliefs that stand in the way of loving oneself and others. Individuals and couples learn how to create a safe space within which to resolve conflicts, as well as the necessary tools to resolve conflict in ways that lead to increased closeness in all your relationships. 

Who Should Attend:

• Individuals and couples wanting to learn Inner Bonding and experience a deep level of healing.
• Individuals and couples wanting to heal relationship dysfunction, learn to resolve conflict, and create a deeper level of closeness with a partner, friends, parents and children.
• Therapists and professionals who have been working with Inner Bonding.

• Professionals who want to start the Inner Bonding Certification Program.

The Mini-Workshop is a shorter version of the Weekend Workshop. The Mini-Workshop offers an overview of Inner Bonding along with demonstrations, questions, and an experience of the Six Steps of Inner Bonding. In addition, participants are taught how to contact their personal spiritual Guidance. See the description of the Weekend Workshop for more details.

The hosted chat is hosted by Dr. Margaret or an Inner Bonding facilitator. Often a subject, such as relationships, addictions, boundaries, or parenting is chosen for the topic. Other times, it is open to any discussion.

Times: The times posted are all Pacific Time. 

Support groups are periodic meetings where you can get individual help with your Inner Bonding process. Some groups are for beginners while others are for more advanced Inner Bonders. Some support groups are in person and others are on the telephone. Dr. Margaret and other Facilitators periodically offer telephone support groups.

The 3-day Advanced intensive is for people who have already attended an Intensive. This is an opportunity to do very deep inner work, as well as develop your sense of community.
