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

The more you choose to be present in the moment, the more you will experience the love, peace, joy and creativity of Spirit. To be present in the moment, you must be willing to let go of control and surrender to being guided by Spirit. Today, gently "sit" on your wounded self - the part of you who wants control, and allow the Presence of Love to move through you.

It helped me understand the process more.  I took the “Love Yourself” course and this workshop continued the learning. It was a more in depth experience.  Really understanding it.  Dr. M. Paul answers your questions.  I learn from other questions and examples she gives that I could relate to me.

'The Inner Bonding Workshop is wonderful and empowering.  I feel a deep sense of well being.  It reaffirms the path I already was on and makes me conscious and determined to stick with it. When I started Inner Bonding I did not have the ability to be alone, to spend time in my own company.  If I felt upset or cried about something I would need a friend or loved one.  Two years later, just a few months prior to the Workshop, I lost my 16 year old son in a tragic accident.  I am immersed in the deepest pain possible and not afraid of it.  I can just cry and cry like my heart is breaking and be able to comfort myself and be there for myself and know that this will pass.  I am able to go through what I am today (death, divorce, moving countries) because I have ME.' Los Angeles Weekend Workshop, 3.11

'This has felt life changing for me. I met my Inner Child for the first time. Really heard her. I now realize that a lifetime of abandoning myself has caused a lot of pain. I am grateful for the concrete tools to begin to develop a Loving Adult that can listen to and pay attention to a long neglected core self. Thank you!' Southern California Weekend Workshop, 4.13

"This workshop was extremely valuable to me. Margaret created a very safe environment to open and heal. I have a new appreciation for my inner child and am committed to healing my relationship with her. Tapping into my spiritual guides excites me and I look forward to learning more about this wisdom as well as trusting the wisdom I receive." Toronto Workshop - Toronto, Canada - 4/2001

"This has been a wonderful Workshop. The material has been so well-organized. A very thorough presentation of the Inner Bonding principles. Covers a lot of ground in only 2 days." L.A. Workshop, 12/06
Dr. Ilene Krems

"I came into this weekend scared of having to expose myself. I feared expressing my feelings of shame and guilt and embarrassment. I most especially was afraid to cry in front of others. I felt like I'd rather die than to be so vulnerable amongst strangers. But, after having participated this weekend I feel some of that fear has diminished and I now know that it's okay to cry without embarrassment or shame. I feel safe." LA Workshop 9/10/01
