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
Do you feel unseen by others? Then you may not be seeing yourself. Do you feel unheard by others? Perhaps you are not hearing yourself. Do you feel discounted by others? Then you are likely discounting yourself. Do you feel unappreciated by others? Do you appreciate yourself? Today, focus on seeing, listening to, attending to and appreciating yourself.

"So helpful to reconnect to spiritual guidance and a reminder to stay present and keep returning to my loving adult. You're a natural presenter." Kripalu 9.18

"I truly had an incredible experience at this workshop. I realized that I decided many years ago to close myself off to my feeling and be a more closed person. Yesterday during our dialogue session I was overcome with emotion once I realized this it was a deep feeling inside my soul and it was almost a relief to realize this. I am excited to continue opening myself up and using Inner Bonding to help me achieve this so I can live a happier, more compassionate and less anxious life! Thank you Dr. Paul for giving me this experience to learn and continue to work on myself. I feel so much gratitude in my heart and will continue to follow you and seek out new opportunities to go to your workshops.

I feel this weekend is something of a line that has divided my life into a before and after. I’ve been searching for an answer to deal with my stubborn, angry, lonely, sad inner child and now I have tools to help heal her and to go forward as a loving adult, helping myself and others feel joy in daily life. Margaret is a blessing on this planet and I thank the universe for leading me to her. -2019

'This was a wonderful experience. Having done a bit of inner growth with other people, I had many similar beliefs and techniques, so this was a great segue into Inner Bonding which provides a concrete step by step procedure for loving ourselves and others. Margaret was fabulous—clear, warm, human, humble and very knowledgeable. Thank you!' Los Angeles Inner Bonding Workshop, 4.12
