My experience in the IB intensive was more powerful than 10 years of counselling.  My marriage was transformed when I attended my first intensive and then my husband started practicing IB with me and we attended together.  We are truly achieving intimacy in our relationship.  It has exceeded all expectations.  It is the best environment to heal self judgement and shame.  I have never been happier in my life.  Dr. Margaret Paul models the healthy adult.  I am filled with gratitude to have the opportunity to work with her.  I would highly recommend an IB intensive to anyone who desires to grow in body, mind, and spirit.

"An Intensive is an opportunity to get to know your issues and how to constructively heal in a safe environment.  The group environment creates a sense of family where mutual support, along with great love is very nurturing.  If you need a hug, come to an Intensive, get real with yourself and confront life's challenges.  You've nothing to lose and everything to gain!"

"My fourth intensive has offered me the challenge of fully embracing, enjoying and loving my essence, my little girl. Understanding how I control others and my environment using shame/guilt is an insight that I finally fully comprehend. The resistance I put up is so obvious to me now. I had no idea how much I controlled any love coming from within me or from others. The love I feel for others' little [inner] children was always kept from me since 'I didn't deserve love.' Now I clearly understand how this false belief is a way that I use to control the pain of abandonment. Now I look at my little girl's photo and think 'You mean she deserves all the love I so easily give to others?' I'm just getting used to the idea - could it really be true? Seeing the beauty in others and none in myself has been a way of life for me - now I want to put as much passion into loving my [inner]little girl as I've given to Tim's [her son] little boy and all my client's [inner] little kids. Little Jeanette has been waiting far too long to be loved unconditionally. Thanks to all you bring to the light for me and others to finally see, Margie!!!!" Los Angeles, May, 2000

'The Intensive was truly amazing. I had read Dr. Paul's literature and was already seeing the positive results of the Inner Bonding process in myself and my marriage. The Intensive took it to a much higher level by giving us the opportunity to practice and apply the Inner Bonding steps with Dr. Paul's guidance. It was like having the opportunity to ride a bicycle after having only read how to do so. My wife and I both had major breakthroughs which I am certain will improve our marriage. It was incredibly helpful and educational to see the other members of our group practice the Inner Bonding process during individual and couple's sessions with Dr. Paul. in a group therapy setting. It was also helpful for my wife and I to see three other couples experiencing the same issues we were experiencing and see them learn to apply the Inner Bonding process to resolve their conflicts.'

[When asked if the Inner Bonding Intensive was of value to her] Are you kidding? Yes, of course! Being in a group is invaluable. You learn so much from everyone else's work. Somehow God brings all the right people together to touch off all of each individual's issues. Having the support and energy of the group, and a safe place, is an essential ingredient to letting to. [Margaret is] great, compassionate, insightful, gifted. I would and will recommend it to anyone who is ready.
