Inner bonding is the process of connecting our adult thoughts with our instinctual, gut feelings -- the feelings of the "inner child" -- so that we can minimize painful conflict within ourselves. Free of inner conflict, we feel peaceful, open to joy, and open to giving and receiving love.
Margaret Paul, coauthor of Healing Your Aloneness, explores how abandonment of the inner child leads to increasingly negative and destructive feelings of low self-worth, codepenclence, addiction, shame, powerlessness, and withdrawal from relationships. Her breakthrough inner bonding process teaches us to heal past wounds through reparenting and clearly demonstrates how we can learn to parent in the present. Real-life examples illustrate the dynamics of the healing process and show the benefits we can expect in every facet of our lives and in all our relationships.
Inner Bonding provides the tools we need to forge and maintain the inner unity that makes our family, sexual, work, and social relationships productive, honest, and joyful.
This book and process is absolutely amazing! June 27, 2008 I have had this book for awhile, along with being a member at the InnerBonding.com community for some time and wanted to add my 2 cents about this process. I had spent YEARS in therapy, THOUSANDS on self-help books, and YEARS in massive self-pain, destructive relationships, and feeling absolutely helpless in my life. I came across the Inner Bonding website, and tried the free course. within weeks i saw a significant change in my life, and i have not bought a self-help book or tried any other method since, i don't need to. Inner Bonding is all i need, working with the supportive community is amazing. I am a completely different person, and i owe it all to Inner Bonding. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
inner bonding January 29, 2008 i think this is one off the best books i have read on loving your inner child. dr paul talks about codepenence and narcissistic behavior ."THE BASIS OF ALL DEPENDENCE IS THE EMPTINESS AND ALONENESS WITHIN THAT COMES FROM THE DISCONNECTION BETWEEN THE INNER ADULT AND THE INNER CHILD" .. i like this book and use this in my medical pratice..
If you only buy one book on this topic, this is the one! January 12, 2008 I whole heartedly agree with the other comments made about this book, worth every cent and more!
Best accompanied by certified facilitator January 3, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
No doubt about it, the book is very good. My fiancee and I have been reading it. More importantly, we met with a certified facilitator in Anderson, Indiana whom I found on the Inner Bonding web site about a week before we ordered the book. Now when we read the book, we have the palpable experience of inner child contact that the book can refer to, but is simply too remarkable to describe with words. You have to feel this. I could not have been more surprised. I don't know where we will go with Inner Bonding, but we will probably sign up for an intensive. The drive up to Anderson took two hours and the session lasted over an hour. Both of us had a truly remarkable and tangible experience. Buy the book. Meet with a facilitator.
Very Suprised That It Was Possible...................... May 31, 2005 30 out of 30 found this review helpful
I actually stumbled across these ladies on the internet while frantically searching for information on self esteem. I had found myself, once again, very confused and lost with how to even look at myself anymore. I am not religous and had judgements on self help that were less than savory. I honestly wanted someone to talk to, but the prospect of paying for someone to listen felt cheap and almost disgusting. All I felt I needed was a guide, some understanding, and some tools. I can't understand why tools for love and success should cost anyway when the outcome of not having them is so damaging and expensive in all aspects. Anyway, on their website is a PDF file of 40 pages that explains in outstanding clarity and power the 6 steps of inner bonding. It was free. I then spent the next 3-4 hours crying in relief and amazment that I could relate, understand, put to work, and actually FEEL what they were writing about. No, it is not a quick fix, but relief was in sight and could now be actually attained for good. Reading about inner bonding and the whole process was the sweetest and most intimate 3-4 hours that I have had in a very long time. I had not felt that close to myself before. If you are jaded, believe that nothing can fix you, are picky about how you deal with what you know is a never ending destructive cycle, and don't want to pay a dime (yet); read the PDF file from their website. Hopefully, you'll have an open heart, and surrender (the good kind of surrender) enough to let it reach you a little. It doesn't take much. If nothing has worked for you, it's probably because it wasn't realistic, thorough, or relative (or maybe you could always pick it apart). These processes that they explain will relate and you won't be able to help the feeling that your tools have been attained and that with some work (very sweet and true work) your healing will begin and you'll feel free from self destructive cycles, addictions, blame, deppression etc. You owe it to yourself.
