(This course is available for immediate delivery) Tapping into a steady stream of unconditional love from within can seem like an impossible goal. Even if you’re a dedicated seeker, you may find yourself struggling with a sense of incompleteness — and the belief that wholeness is so impossibly beyond your reach.

Â
Deepen Your Love & Compassion for Yourself — Healing Your Core Shame and Feelings of Unworthiness.
Discover the Key to Accessing Profound Joy, Freedom, and Sharing Love With Others — Through Forming Healthy Attachments With the Wounded Parts of You.
Do you secretly believe some part of you is innately flawed?
Do you seek approval from others as a way to avoid feelings of unworthiness?
And is it hard to for you to fully trust in (and rely on) the wisdom of your Higher Guidance?
Those of us who’ve been on a transformational path can spend many years meditating, in therapy and personal growth workshops. We’ve worked on releasing our childhood stories. We’ve journaled our traumas. We’ve replaced limiting beliefs with more empowering ones.
And yet, unconditional self-love… the key to healing core shame, experiencing real freedom and a sustainable connection with the Divine, may elude us.
A subtle level of judgment and frustration with where we are — a sense of not quite being good enough — persists.
Deep down, you too, may feel unlovable, inadequate and ashamed of parts of yourself…
You may even hate aspects of yourself.
These thoughts not only make you feel badly about yourself, they also undermine your relationships. You show up looking to get love rather than share love, which creates anxiety and conflict.
The beliefs that prevent you from creating a secure sense of inner wholeness can be traced back to the parts of you that are in need of healing.
Very few of us developed a truly healthy template for love in childhood. To survive the pain of neglect and the lack of role models for unconditional love, children often blame themselves — creating a core sense of shame or inadequacy.
Instead of addressing such feelings at their root, we often create substitute ways to either experience some sense of unconditional love or avoid its painful absence through addictions to alcohol, drugs or sex, bouts with unhealthy eating patterns, or even numbing our feelings though obsessions with media or technology.
Anything, it seems, to fill that emptiness inside so we can feel better about ourselves.
So when you hear spiritual teachers sing the praises of unconditional love, you may feel depressed because you’re keenly aware of the swirl of self-judging thoughts, muddied emotions and seemingly endless drama that manifests in your relationships — which feel anything but loving.
How to Finally, Truly Love Yourself
Tapping into a steady stream of unconditional love from within can seem like an impossible goal. Even if you’re a dedicated seeker, you may find yourself struggling with a sense of incompleteness — and the belief that wholeness is so impossibly beyond your reach.
The solution? Discovering how to truly love different parts of yourself, and to create a secure inner bond between them.
The lack of this deep inner bonding is at the core of a remarkable number of challenges you may be dealing with, from relationship struggles to addictions, anxiety and depression.
And this leads to rejecting or abandoning yourself… often unconsciously.
It’s time for a new approach — one that blends spiritual practices with psychological science. That approach is Inner Bonding, co-founded by psychologist Dr. Margaret Paul.
Inner Bonding begins with compassionate, deep inquiry into accessing and healing wounded parts of yourself and creating a new inner template — one based on the wisdom of your higher Self, rather than the flawed “teachings†of your childhood role models.

It helps you feel, embrace, and embody your totality, so you release any control games and addictive patterns, and respond to others in a way that reflects real self-love.
The core practices of Inner Bonding have proven effective for thousands of people — including people like Grammy-winning artist Alanis Morissette, a powerful public champion of the work.
During the Finally, Truly Loving Yourself 14-week program, you’ll learn the core insights and practices of this groundbreaking approach and be supported to bring them deeply into your life to cultivate true unconditional self-love and self-worth — the foundation needed to move beyond addictions, dramas and dysfunctions of all kinds.
The Power of Inner Bonding
One way of understanding the Inner Bonding approach is to think about how psychology has shown that different levels of secure attachment are essential for a developing child. When you don’t have the attachments you need, parts of you feel left out and rejected — parts of your personality and Self that were not seen, embraced or loved by your parents.
Virtually all of us reach adulthood with some aspects of ourselves feeling this pain of rejection.
Instead of accepting this woundedness as a hopeless scenario, Inner Bonding uses a specific and proven 6-step methodology to establish clear, loving connections between these different aspects of your consciousness, and also to your higher Self.
You’ll be taken through these six steps in a precise, immersive way during Finally, Truly Loving Yourself Through Advanced Inner Bonding — giving you not only an experience of unconditional love in the present, but also the ongoing support to work deeply with different aspects of your Self that block sustained healing.
You’ll learn how to dialogue with your feelings, pain, anxiety, self-hatred and fear, as well as get to the core of self-abandonment and shame. You’ll see how you can start connecting to higher guidance around your beliefs, and take loving actions that reinforce positive shifts.
You’ll even learn how to establish new brain pathways for truly loving yourself.
6 Steps to Inner Bonding
Willingness to Feel Pain & Take Responsibility for Your FeelingsMove into the present moment and focus within, tuning into your feelings — the physical sensations within the body. Choose to be mindful of and pay attention to all distressing feelings rather than protect against them with substance and process addictions. Make a conscious decision that you WANT to take responsibility for your feelings.
Move Into the Intent to LearnInvite the compassionate presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you may be doing or thinking that may be causing your pain, or what may be happening externally that needs your attention. When you’re in the intent to learn you are a loving adult. When you are in the intent to protect and avoid you are operating from your shame-based ego wounded self, or child-adult. In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with compassion.
Dialogue With Your Wounded Self & Core SelfDiscover the thoughts/false beliefs from your wounded self that may be causing your shame, fear, and pain; release anger and pain in appropriate ways; learn about the past that created the false beliefs; nurture your wounded self; explore what may be happening with a person or event that is causing the core feelings of loneliness, heartache, heartbreak, helplessness, or grief; explore your core Self and what brings you joy.
Dialogue With Your Higher GuidanceAsk your spiritual Guidance (whatever that is for you): What’s the truth about the thoughts/false beliefs you may have uncovered in Step Three? What’s the loving behavior toward your Inner Child in this situation? What’s in your highest good? What’s kind to yourself? Open and allow the answers to come through you in words, pictures, or feelings. The answers may not come immediately, but if you have a sincere desire to learn, they’ll come.
Take Loving ActionTell yourself the truth and take the loving action that came through from your guidance in Step Four; put God/Spirit into action. Consciously move into gratitude for your guidance that is always here for you.
Evaluate Your ActionCheck in to see if your pain, anger, and shame are getting healed. If not, go back through the steps until you discover the truth and actions that bring you peace, joy, and a deep sense of intrinsic worth. These Steps will come alive for you as you learn and practice the Inner Bonding process.
