Inner Bonding

Do you constantly replay conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing or if people like you? In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores why obsessing over others' opinions is really about self-abandonment—and how to finally heal it.

You'll learn why trying to control what others think of you is impossible, how this pattern begins in childhood, and why your anxiety is actually your inner child telling you that you're abandoning yourself for approval.

You'll also discover the two steps of Inner Bonding that shift you from seeking control and approval to developing a loving adult self—so your sense of worth becomes internal instead of dependent on others.
