Join The MasterCircle For Ongoing Support, Personal Guidance And Live Inner Bonding® Facilitation
This is the best, most economical way to work with Dr. Margaret Paul, and learn how to integrate Inner Bonding into your life, your relationships and your daily choices
If you’re here, chances are you already understand something important.
You understand that the pain you experience — anxiety, depression, shame, loneliness, disconnection in your relationships — isn’t coming from other people or circumstances alone.
And you know that lasting change doesn’t come from fixing other people, managing outcomes, or “trying harder.”
That in fact healing happens when you stop abandoning yourself and learn how to take loving responsibility for your own feelings, needs, and choices.
And yet…
Knowing the steps of Inner Bonding is not the same as being able to live it.
There’s a very real difference between understanding the process — and applying it when life is actually happening (especially when you are triggered).
- When your child dismisses you or speaks to you with disrespect — and you feel that familiar mix of anger and helplessness.
- When your partner shuts down, lashes out, or doesn’t show up in the way you need — and old beliefs about being unlovable or alone come rushing in.
- When you step on the scale and feel that familiar wave of shame
- When you don’t feel seen or appreciated — and self-judgment takes over.
- When something doesn’t go your way at work, in your relationships, or in your family — and anxiety or shame suddenly feels louder than your loving adult voice.
- When you keep picking the wrong partner over and over.
- When you can’t seem to access your wise higher self and your wounded self is taking over.
- When your child dismisses you or speaks to you with disrespect — and you feel that familiar mix of anger and helplessness.
In those moments, it’s easy to fall back into old responses: Controlling behavior: Self-judgment, Withdrawal. Over-giving. Blame. Numbing.
In those moments, it’s hard to see how we are getting in our own way, and how our wounded inner child or adolescent is running the show.
Not because you don’t “know better”—
but because practice under real-life challenges is what develops the loving adult..
- Practice noticing self-abandonment as it’s happening.
- Practice recognizing when fear or old beliefs are running the show.
- Practice choosing loving action in real situations.
That kind of practice is very difficult to do by yourself.
That’s where the Inner Bonding MasterCircle comes in.
Where Practice Becomes Integration: The Inner Bonding MasterCircle
The Inner Bonding MasterCircle exists for one reason: to help you apply Inner Bonding to the real, everyday situations that shape your life.
Not in theory — but in reality.
When your adult children yell at you for trying to help.
When your partner ignores your bid for connection and zones out on Netflix.
When your boss berates you in front of colleagues.
When your mother criticizes you, your sister blames you, your nanny quits, and your father starts drinking again.
This is where the work meets real life.
Rather than trying to remember what to do after you’ve already reacted, the MasterCircle helps you learn how to stay present, curious, and loving in the moments that matter most.
This is not about gathering more information. It’s about learning how to respond differently — from your loving adult — when life triggers old wounds.
It’s also about beginning to truly understand your own blind spots and self-abandonment patterns as they show up in the ordinary, messy moments of daily life.
Because when you can see those patterns clearly — without judgment — something profound begins to shift.
When you can reliably show up as the loving adult for your wounded child,
And when you can give yourself the care, attention, and truth you’ve been seeking from others, that’s when understanding turns into loving action.
Inner Bonding stops being something you think about rather than do - becomes something you live. Something instinctive. Natural. Steady.
A way of being with yourself that remains available to you, even when life is hard.
Learning Through Live Application: The Power of Precision Facilitation
Learning to stay present, loving, and self-responsible in real life doesn’t happen through intention alone. It happens through repeated, guided experience — experiencing Inner Bonding applied again and again to the kinds of situations that challenge you most.
That’s why the MasterCircle is so powerful.
Twice each month, we come together to work with what is actually happening in your life right now.
Not hypotheticals.
Not abstractions.
Not best-case scenarios.
We work with the real moments that have already left you feeling reactive, confused, discouraged, or disconnected — and with the ones you know are likely to arise again.
In each MasterCircle, you’ll see Inner Bonding applied to:
- ongoing relationship struggles
- parenting challenges at every stage of life
- feelings of loneliness, resentment, anxiety, or shame
- habitual patterns of self-judgment, people-pleasing, withdrawal, anger, or control
- feelings of anxiety, depression or hopelessness
- addictive behavior such as food, alcohol, drugs, gaming, sex, spending
- Health and sleep issues
- moments when you can sense you are abandoning yourself, but aren’t yet sure how to stop
During each call, several members receive live, one-on-one precision facilitation.
This work is direct, focused, and precise. In a relatively short period of time, I help uncover what is really happening beneath the surface — often patterns and beliefs that have been operating for decades, outside of conscious awareness.
Rather than analyzing or problem-solving, precision facilitation brings immediate clarity:
- where self-abandonment is occurring
- what false beliefs are driving emotional pain or reactive behavior
- how attempts to control others or outcomes are replacing self-responsibility
- what loving action will serve you best
For those who work with me, the experience can feel both grounding and illuminating — not because something new is being added, but because something essential is finally being seen clearly.
At the same time, many members participate primarily by listening, reflecting, and witnessing the work being done with others.
And this, too, is a powerful form of practice.
Because what becomes clear very quickly is this: while the circumstances people bring may look different on the surface, the underlying patterns are remarkably familiar.
As you listen, you may find yourself thinking:
“That’s me.”
“I’ve never said it that way, but I feel that too.”
“I didn’t realize that belief was shaping my choices.”
Often, someone will articulate a fear or belief you’ve been carrying quietly for years — or ask a question you didn’t yet know how to ask.
It will help you see your own situation more clearly, and also prepare you for the unknown circumstances and challenges of your future.
This is one of the great strengths of the MasterCircle. You don’t just learn from your own experiences. You learn from dozens of real-life applications of Inner Bonding, over time, across a wide range of situations. You will also experience a sense of connection and community as you are supported by certified Inner Bonding facilitators and other participants.
This repeated exposure creates a depth of understanding that simply can’t be gained from reading, studying, or working alone. You begin to recognize patterns more quickly, respond with greater compassion, and take loving action with increasing confidence and clarity.
Over time, Inner Bonding stops being something you have to consciously “remember” to do. It becomes something you recognize, trust, and embody — even in moments that once felt overwhelming.
What the Inner Bonding MasterCircle Includes
In addition to the opportunity to work with me live, the Inner Bonding MasterCircle includes several integrated elements designed to help Inner Bonding become a lived, reliable practice in your daily life.
Each part of the MasterCircle supports a different aspect of learning, integration, and embodiment — so you’re not just understanding the process intellectually, but truly mastering how to apply it across all areas of your life.
Live MasterCircle Sessions:
On the first and third Wednesday of every month, we gather for two 90-minute live sessions. During every call, I:
- Guide the group through the six steps of Inner Bonding, offering repeated, real-time practice that helps the process become more familiar, intuitive, and accessible — especially when emotions are strong.
- Share focused teaching on a topic selected by the community, offering insight into how Inner Bonding applies to common challenges and patterns people are facing right now.
- Answer live questions asked in the chat and work individually with several members through Precision facilitation.
This combination of guided process, teaching, and live application creates a powerful learning environment — one that supports both depth and sustainability over time.
What If I Can’t Attend The Calls Live?:
Many of our MasterCircle members can’t attend the Live calls. Either they are in a time zone that doesn’t work with that call time, or the call is inconvenient for work, childcare or just daily living.
Don’t worry - the MasterCircle is still incredibly valuable. Recordings are sent out every call, and you can watch them at your convenience. You’ll still get tremendous value watching me teach on a topic about the application of Inner Bonding in daily life, and conducting Precision facilitation with attendees.
You’ll still have other ways to get your personal questions answered, and receive ongoing support and integration of Inner Bonding in your daily life.
Community-Chosen Topics:
Rather than following a fixed curriculum, the MasterCircle is shaped by the people in it.
Members are invited to suggest topics for upcoming calls, ensuring that what I teach each month reflects the challenges, questions, and life situations the community is actively navigating.
Topics can include:
- Recognizing subtle or hidden forms of self-abandonment
- Understanding emotional pain as guidance rather than something to avoid
- Identifying the ways we try to control partners, children, or outcomes — and why
- What to do when you don’t feel loved, valued, or appreciated,
- Learning how to take loving action when fear, shame, loneliness, anxiety, or depression overtake you
These teachings offer another way to apply Inner Bonding — not as a set of rules, but as a compassionate framework that supports you in every area of your life.
The Ask Margaret Advice Forum:
Between live sessions, members have access to a private forum designed to support continued reflection and application.
You can submit questions about situations you’re facing, patterns you’re noticing, or challenges that feel difficult to navigate on your own. Questions are answered by me or by trained Inner Bonding Facilitators, offering clarity and support as you continue practicing in real life.
A Supportive Community on the Same Path:
The MasterCircle also offers the opportunity to learn alongside others who are committed to taking responsibility for themselves and growing through Inner Bonding.
As members share insights and reflections, it often becomes clear that many struggles are shared — even when circumstances differ. This sense of common humanity can reduce shame, normalize difficult emotions, and deepen compassion for yourself and others.
Together, these elements create an ongoing rhythm of learning, practice, and integration — supporting you in making Inner Bonding not just something you understand, but a way of living with greater clarity, connection, and self-trust.

A Thoughtful, Sustainable Way to Do Deep Work
Healing self-abandonment — and learning to live consistently from your loving adult — happens through repeated practice, clear insight, and compassionate course correction as life unfolds.
The MasterCircle was created to support exactly that.
It offers a steady rhythm of connection to the work: live application, guided practice, shared learning, and reflection. As new challenges arise in your relationships, your family, your work, or your inner life, you have a place to bring them — and a way to meet them differently.
Because this work unfolds over time, the structure matters.
Rather than requiring you to schedule individual sessions or wait until things feel “bad enough” to seek support, the MasterCircle offers regular, live access to the work in a way that is both practical and sustainable. You are able to stay connected, ask questions as they arise, and continue deepening your understanding through real-life application.
This is also what makes the MasterCircle unusually accessible and cost-effective.
By working together in a live group format, the MasterCircle allows you to receive ongoing access to my guidance twice each month — through direct facilitation, teaching, and witnessing the work with others — at a fraction of the cost of individual work.
For many members, this becomes the most effective and realistic way to stay engaged with Inner Bonding over time.
And over time, something important begins to shift.
You stop needing to “figure out” what to do.
You recognize patterns more quickly.
You recover from emotional triggers with greater ease.
And you take loving action with more trust and less self-doubt.
It’s not because life stops being challenging — but because you are no longer facing it alone or unresourced.
Through live facilitation, guided processes, and witnessing the work with others, many members find this becomes the most meaningful way to stay connected to Inner Bonding — not through intensity or pressure, but through consistency, depth, and lived experience.
So if you’re ready to move beyond understanding Inner Bonding conceptually and want support in truly living it…
The Inner Bonding MasterCircle offers a grounded, sustainable path forward.
I invite you to join us.
With blessings,
Dr. Margaret Paul
P.S. This is the most consistent, cost-effective way to make Inner Bonding your way of life.
You’ll get to work with me live twice each month, learn through direct facilitation and observation, and deepen your practice over time — all within a structure designed for sustainability.
While you may not be able to attend every call live, you will always have the recordings to view at your convenience, and the Ask Margaret forum to get the support you need.
