If you’ve ever felt "guilty" for not feeling grateful enough, this conversation will help you reconnect with your inner child and find a peace that feels real.

Is your "wounded self" keeping you in a cycle of blame and victimhood?

Many people feel trapped in situations they think they can’t control. When this happens, it’s easy to focus on external problems and hope others will change. In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explains why this outward focus often keeps people feeling powerless and stuck.

She explores how the “wounded self” leads to patterns of blame, self-judgment, and victimhood—and why real change begins by turning inward. Through the Inner Bonding® process, Dr. Paul shares how shifting false beliefs, raising your emotional frequency, and becoming open to learning can help you break free from stuck patterns.

When we feel stuck, it’s easy to focus on external problems, but real freedom begins by turning inward.
