Daily Inspiration

Today, think of something you always wanted to do and have not yet done. Go inside to your Inner Child and remember a way you wanted to have fun, or create, or have adventure, or remember something you wanted to learn to do. Today, make plans to do it. It may take time to bring this about, but it is loving action and will bring you joy.

By Dr. Margaret Paul

"By teaching us how to take full responsibility for ourselves in relationship, Inner Bonding helped us move from codependency toward real intimacy. Inner Bonding taught us how to recognize and then own and transform the things we have projected onto each other, whether it be our darkness or our beauty. As a result, we have become freer to explore the depths of who we really are, to share this with each other and to support one another in our healing journey."

"I have to tell you that my husband and I are not living together and have filed for a legal separation BUT we started doing the relationship course when I received the 12 weeks of the toolbox. We've done the first 3 weeks already and both of us are getting a lot out of it. After several years and more than $10,000 of what I now call "thera-chat", we have finally found something helpful! So thank you for making this material available!"

"When I first began inner bonding I weighed 244 pounds. This was thirty or forty pounds too much for me, as I am six feet tall. As I read the articles and talked to two Inner Bonding® facilitators, I began to realize that my problem was more complicated than overeating. My facilitator asked me "what was I doing just before I started eating"? Then she asked "what were you feeling, at that moment?" With some difficulty I realized that whenever I was feeling uncomfortable or fearful, I would stick something in my mouth. I now weigh 220 pounds….I also have different self soothing strategies than I used to have."

"The inner bonding work has completely changed my life and my relationship for the better. My husband and I went from a relationship that was surely headed for divorce (or misery) to the most fulfilling and connected relationship I have ever experienced! (More than I ever even imagined was possible.) We are now able to communicate freely and openly about all areas of our life, money, emotions, sex. We both feel free to relate to each other openly without fear of the other's reaction."

We so wanted to blame each other for our ills and unhappiness - it was so much easier!! Since we have been doing Inner Bonding, we realized that whatever made us unhappy was ourselves, and that truly taking responsibility for our own lives in every way was the key to a successful relationship. We have become much closer emotionally, sexually, and in every other way. We have acknowledged to one another that we are happier now than we were in those first exciting months of dating.

"Inner Bonding has improved our relationship and our parenting, by giving each of us the tools to recognize, understand, and move beyond power struggles. As a result, we are each able to stay in a deeply loving place more and more continuously, and we bounce back much quicker if either or both of us goes into a wounded place. It's great that we both practice IB as we can get feedback from each other and can enjoy deep learning and spiritual growth together."

What is an Inner Bonding Facilitator?

A Certified Inner Bonding Facilitator is person who has trained with Dr. Margaret Paul until both the Facilitator and Dr. Paul feel that the person is an expert in Inner Bonding facilitation. Some Facilitators have had many years of training through both personal sessions with Dr. Paul and through workshops and Intensives.

Some Facilitators are professionally licensed therapists and accept insurance. However, licensure is not a pre-requisite for Certification. All Certified Facilitators have been working with clients, using the Inner Bonding process, for many years.

Facilitators-in-Training, other than licensed professionals, generally charge less than Certified Facilitators. Each Facilitator decides on his or her own rate in working with clients, and all fees go to the Facilitator. If you want facilitation and you have limited funds, you can receive much support from those Facilitators-in-Training who are keeping their fees low.

Most Facilitators and Facilitators-in-Training work with clients on the phone. Dr. Margaret Paul currently works with clients only on the phone, other than in Intensives.
