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 and with others. 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, codependence, addiction, shame, powerlessness, and conflicted relationships.

Erika Chopich and Margaret Paul show how anyone can reconnect with his or her Inner Child—your feeling self—to short-circuit self-destructive patterns, resolve fears and conflicts, and build satisfying relationships. "Healing Your Aloneness”, a life-changing book, outlines the profound self-healing Inner Bonding® process that can be used every day to restore a nurturing balance between the loving Adult and the loved Inner Child.

Fortunately, there is a way to manipulate the law of attraction and make it work for you.
