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

"I have done much work before but this goes right to the essence of what it means to (be)come human."
Van Houte Johannes

"The workshop opened me up to a part of myself I never knew I had. Margaret was absolutely amazing! Professional, compassionate, beautifully open to learning."
Dan Jenkins

 

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.

'I always had the need to heal myself.  I have never been in therapy, and I had worked already somehow on Step 1, and in this Workshop, everything touched on my feelings.  I feel I was meant to be here at this time; because this is the time that I think I have time to take care of myself with God's blessings.  Will be following up with other workshop.' Kripalu Workshop, 9.12

"Extremely valuable. I felt very given to - a wonderful experience. Margaret was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, giving, passionate, articulate, committed, enthusiastic."
Darsham Alba

"This was my first exposure to Dr. Margaret Paul's work. This process was very unique in getting in toucch with your inner child, wounded self, and higher being. I really enjoyed working with others n the group and having the opportunity to open up and dig deep into finding the nner child I've abandoned. I was able to really understand what Margaret was wanting us to do in the exercises and I appreciated Grace and Carla's kindness and willingness to stop and really make sure that we got it. This is an amazing tool I have already started to use and am looking forward to getting to know my inner child more and more!  1440 Multiversity Workshop, Santa Cruz, CA 4.18
