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
Set your intention for the day. Make a conscious decision that you want to be in love, compassion, peace and joy. Decide to be courageous and speak your truth. Request to draw to you all that is of the light, and to be immune to the darkness of anger, fear and judgment.

“This technic is friendly and can be used by anyone. Inner Bonding is teaching you all three aspects of self-care. How to be open and loving and how to ask for help.” Nov 2018

"It was a chance to assimilate a variety of tools I've accumulated over the past few years and see how they can all be used together. It's so great to let go of pain and let peace come in. It was really helpful to see people go through the process; quite often they did my work for me." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 10/09
Carol Basilio
"After reading 'Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by God?' and doing Inner Bonding for several months alone, and then with a facilitator, I still found the workshop extremely helpful. There is an endless source of learning and growth through this process and listening and talking about it with others is very helpful to that process. Margaret is amazing." Kripalu Workshop, 9/08

"It was truly transformative and enlightening. Generous, well-done in terms of not being heavy-handed. The one-on-ones with Margaret & participants was the most powerful and helpful. I've never been a 'group' person but learned so much from others." Kripalu Workshop, Lenox, MA, 10/09

'I have tried many healing methods and spiritual paths, and nothing has ever given me so much personal empowerment to heal myself and be responsible for myself. The process is inspired yet concrete and totally applicable in everyday life.' LA Workshop, 3.7.10
