Publisher's summary

Inner Bonding is a proven six-step self-healing process that has been developed and optimized over 30 years by Dr. Margaret Paul, PhD and Dr. Erika Chopich, PhD. It’s comprehensive. It’s practical. And it always works when you do it.

In this book, Margaret, through the powerful Six-Step Inner Bonding pathway, shows how you can create and maintain the inner safety you need so you can become strong enough to love.

Inner Bonding empowers you to self-heal the root causes of anxiety, depression, addictions, failed relationships and many other problems that inhibit your personal and spiritual growth and satisfaction. It teaches you how to love yourself rather than continue to abandon yourself, how to move beyond emotional dependency and attain emotional freedom, and how to heal any underlying control issues.

In friendships, marriages, and work relationships, your joy, aliveness, and creativity get lost as you give up parts of yourself in an attempt to feel safe. In romantic relationships, passion dries up. Superficiality, boredom, fighting, and apathy take its place. You try valiantly to figure out what went wrong. But too often you might ask, “What am I doing wrong?” or “What are you doing wrong?” rather than inquiring into the underlying fears and resulting self-abandoning behaviors that create the unsafe relationship space.

The key to doing this is learning how to create a safe inner space where you can work with and overcome your false beliefs and your fears of rejection and engulfment. This is a process, not an event.

Required read to live on earth.

Absolute requirement for any and all human beings that can read or hear. No question about it.

Mostly stories of dysfunction

The majority of this book goes into stories of dysfunctional or struggling relationships. These stories often end in a conclusively “happy ending” after guidance from the author- guidance that’s described vaguely and briefly.

There’s not many tangible practices or ways to employ inner-bonding offered here, at least not in the first 3/4 of the book.
