Podcasts about healing your aloneness

Have you ever found yourself asking: why can't I get it together? Why am I struggling so much when others seem fine? In this grounding and compassionate episode, Dr. Margaret Paul offers a profound reframe for anyone who has ever felt like a mess. What you are likely experiencing is not a personal failure, but a nervous system dysregulation. And understanding what that means, where it comes from, and how to respond to it with love rather than judgment can begin to change everything. Dr. Paul explains how the nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger, how childhood environments shape the survival patterns we still carry into adulthood, and why self-judgment only deepens dysregulation rather than resolving it. She also shares practical tools for nervous system regulation, including vagal breathing, EFT, EMDR, and somatic experiencing, and offers a gentle guided moment to help you connect with your inner child right now. Come explore a kinder, more compassionate way of understanding yourself in Why Am I Such a Mess? Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation.   Enjoy the podcast?

What if the most important form of self-care has nothing to do with bubble baths or vacations? In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores one of the most overlooked dimensions of true self-care: learning to validate yourself. While external self-care has its place, she explains that no amount of outside validation from a partner, a parent, a boss, or social media can heal the wound of self-invalidation. That healing only happens from the inside. Dr. Paul walks through why so many people grow up dependent on others to reflect their worth, what self-validation actually means (and what it does not), and how learning to see, hear, and honor your own inner experience transforms not just your relationship with yourself but with everyone around you. She shares practical ways to begin practicing self-validation, including how to name your feelings with compassion, mirror your soul's qualities back to yourself, and stop outsourcing your emotional authority to others. Come explore the deeper meaning of self-care in Self-Care: How to Validate Yourself and begin building the kind of inner safety that no one else can take away. Enjoy the podcast?

Are you doing inner child work but still feeling stuck, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Margaret Paul addresses one of the most important and most misunderstood topics in the healing space: what inner child work actually is, and the common mistakes that can inadvertently reinforce the very wounds you are trying to heal. Dr. Paul begins by drawing a crucial distinction between the soulful inner child and the wounded self that developed in response to fear and false beliefs, and walks through the key mistakes she sees again and again: giving the wounded child too much power, confusing love with indulgence, using inner child work to avoid adult responsibility, staying focused on pain without bringing in love and guidance, trying to fix the inner child rather than develop the loving adult, and attempting this work without a connection to something greater than the ego.

How do you tell the difference between a true spiritual teacher and someone who is subtly using you? In this timely and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Margaret Paul tackles a topic that is as widespread as it is rarely addressed: spiritual deception. Not the obvious, overt kind — but the subtle kind, where false prophets speak kindly, share genuine insight, and still manage to keep you dependent, doubtful, and disconnected from your own inner authority. Dr. Paul explains that a false prophet is not defined by what they say, but by their intent. She walks through the key red flags to watch for, the qualities that distinguish true spiritual teachers from those seeking power, and why the most important protection is a strong connection to your own inner and higher knowing.  Come explore how to develop discernment, strengthen your loving adult, and learn to trust truth over charm in Discerning False Prophets here on the Inner Bonding podcast.   Enjoy the podcast?

What does it actually mean to take emotional responsibility — and why do so many of us get it wrong? In this illuminating episode, Dr. Margaret Paul cuts through the confusion around one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal growth. She explains why emotional responsibility is not self-blame and certainly not a burden. True emotional responsibility is an act of love — toward yourself and toward the inner child who carries your deepest feelings and needs your compassionate presence. Dr. Paul explores how the wounded self distorts emotional responsibility into shame, how fear keeps us from showing up for our own feelings, and what it looks like to become the loving, compassionate adult your inner child has always needed. She also draws a powerful distinction between self-blame, which comes from fear, and true responsibility, which comes from love — and shows how that shift alone can begin to transform your inner world.

Have you ever felt yourself slowly disappearing in a relationship? In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores one of the most common — and most overlooked — blocks to true intimacy: self-abandonment. She unpacks why so many of us lose our voice, our needs, and our sense of self in relationships, and what it truly takes to love deeply without betraying yourself. Dr. Paul guides us through the critical difference between love and attachment, how fear-based relating leads to resentment and emptiness, and why two whole, self-connected people are the foundation of any genuinely loving relationship. She also shares how the Inner Bonding process helps you develop the loving adult within — so you can show up honestly, set loving limits, and experience the kind of closeness that doesn't come at the cost of who you are.

How often do you say an affirmation, but don't follow it with action? In this powerful episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores how to create loving affirmations that truly support the outcomes we desire, and how taking aligned, loving action is essential to manifesting our gifts and purpose. She dives into how we define our sense of worth, why our efforts matter more than outcomes, and how our intentions shape the quality of our relationships. As loving actions create loving feelings, she reminds us that the wounded self often drives false beliefs. By returning to our personal power and emotional freedom, we can begin to make our affirmations genuinely work for us.   Come explore how to align your inner voice with meaningful action in Why Affirmations Might Fail Without Inner Bonding, and begin showing up for yourself in a way that truly supports your growth.   Enjoy the podcast?

With practice, you can become a loving adult father to yourself, even if you never had one. In today's episode, Dr. Margaret Paul dives into how the “loving adult father” shows up in our lives, why we need both the nurturing energy of an inner mother and the action-oriented guidance of an inner father, and how intentional self-compassion becomes the catalyst for real transformation. Because without that inner loving father, the inner child can feel unseen and abandoned. But when you choose to lead yourself with love, you create space for deeper peace, stability, and joy in every area of your life. Listen in as we explore how real growth isn't just about awareness — it's about choosing loving actions, setting boundaries that honor your worth, and becoming the steady, supportive presence you've always needed.   Enjoy the podcast?

In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores how our thoughts directly influence our actions, our relationships, and the decisions we make. She unpacks how more supportive, compassionate thoughts can help us feel grounded and authentic, how our thinking shapes our access to inner and spiritual guidance, and why awareness and intentionality are powerful tools for shifting from a controlling mindset to a loving one.

Is your kindness truly coming from love… or from fear? Many of us believe we are being kind when we are actually being “nice” to avoid rejection, conflict, or disapproval. But this form of niceness often leads to self-abandonment—saying yes when we mean no, hiding our truth, and overriding our needs to keep the peace. In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores the difference between ego-driven niceness and authentic kindness that comes from the Loving Adult. Discover how true kindness does not require you to betray yourself, and how it becomes a powerful force for emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and deeper connection. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or being kind without losing yourself, this conversation will help you reconnect with your truth and experience kindness as strength—not weakness.

What if the richest life begins when you finally listen to your feelings? We sit down with Dr. Margaret Paul—best-selling author and co-creator of Inner Bonding—to rethink wealth as well-being and put love at the center of a life that feels good. Forget the myth that a bigger balance sheet guarantees joy. Dr. Paul has coached people with yachts, acclaim, and approval who still felt empty. Her insight is simple: happiness flows from how you treat yourself, especially under stress and in close relationships.We unpack the health, wealth, wisdom, and happiness framework and explore why control patterns—anger, blame, withdrawal, caretaking—quietly drain connection. Dr. Paul outlines the six steps of Inner Bonding: feel your feelings, choose learning over control, get curious about pain, open to guidance, take loving action, and check your feelings for feedback. It's a practical way to build a trustworthy “loving adult” who sets boundaries, speaks up, and rests without guilt.We also clarify the “inner child”—your soul, wise and speaking through feelings, alongside wounded parts formed over time. When you take responsibility for that inner world, stress eases, health improves, and creativity returns. Personal power shifts from “power over” to alignment between guidance, compassion, and action—changing relationships, careers, and how money supports life.If you're ready to trade approval-chasing for real peace, this conversation offers clear steps and hope.

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.

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.

Many people believe that their inner child is running their life, but what if that belief is actually keeping them stuck? In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul clarifies why this common assumption is not only inaccurate but often harmful to true healing. She explains how Inner Bonding defines the inner child as the soul self—our true essence of love, compassion, creativity, and joy. She contrasts this with the wounded child, or ego-wounded self, which is formed through false beliefs and fears absorbed during childhood and throughout life. By understanding this distinction, you can stop blaming your feelings and begin using them as valuable inner guidance.

She explains how healthy guilt and shame help guide learning and change, while toxic guilt and shame are rooted in false beliefs about responsibility and self-worth.

What does it truly mean to take loving care of yourself without guilt? In this episode, Dr. Margaret Paul explores the profound difference between surface-level self-care and deep emotional self-responsibility. Moving beyond spa days and external fixes, she invites you into a compassionate understanding of emotional self-care—learning to listen inwardly, honor your feelings, and respond to your inner needs with love rather than judgment. Dr. Paul explains how tuning into your feelings allows you to recognize when you're abandoning yourself and how guilt, anxiety, depression, and shame often signal a call for deeper self-attunement. Through the lens of the Inner Bonding® process, she reveals why loving yourself is not selfish, but essential for healthy relationships, emotional fulfillment, and authentic connection with others.

“Once you accept helplessness over others and over events, then you are empowered to take care of yourself.” ~ Dr. Margaret Paul Dr. Paul is the author/co-author of several best-selling books, including Do I Have To Give Up Me to Be Loved By You?, Inner Bonding, Healing Your Aloneness, The Inner Bonding Workbook: Six Steps to Healing Yourself and Connecting with Your Divine Guidance. Dr. Paul's books have been distributed around the world and have been translated into eleven languages. She holds a Ph.D. in psychology and is a relationship expert, noted public speaker, workshop leader, educator, chaplain, consultant and artist. She has appeared on many radio and TV shows, including the Oprah show. Dr. Paul begins by talking about the importance of self-love during the holidays.  She says when you learn to love yourself and bring compassion to your own feelings and needs, then you approach others from a full place, not a needy place. For Dr. Paul, people don't realize that we live in a universe of love.  We can open to that love, bring it inside and fill ourselves up.  It's not only love, it's peace, joy, intelligence and laughter and so much more. However Dr. Paul reminds us that it's not about getting it externally, but rather learning to tap into that source which is here all the time. Our feelings let us know whether our loving adult or our wounded self is in charge.  If you are feeling negative emotions, then you are in a wounded state and you are abandoning and rejecting yourself.  If you are feeling positive feelings, then you know you are taking loving care of yourself. These feelings tell us that it's time to attend to something. She reminds us of those KEY questions to ask ourselves regularly: what's loving to me now?  What's in my highest good now?   So let's dive into this spectacular conversation with the always wonderful Dr. Margaret Paul!

She has appeared on many radio and TV shows, including the Oprah show. Dr. Paul begins our conversation by talking about her background and the challenges she faced growing up in her dysfunctional family.  When it comes to these challenges, Dr. Paul says that we can either avoid and shut down or we can learn from them. In her mid 40's, Dr. Paul became deathly ill.  Even though, she was eating a healthy diet, she realized that she wasn't taking care of herself.  At this point, she let go of the caretaking & began to practice self-love through her inner bonding process. Dr. Paul walks us through the steps of Inner Bonding:  Step 1: Be willing to feel pain and take responsibility for your feelings Step 2: Move into the intent to learn Step 3: Inner dialoguing with your inner child and your wounded self Step 4: Dialogue with your divine guidance Step 5: Take loving action Step 6: Evaluate your actions Dr. Paul explains that inner bonding teaches us the HOW of self love.  It's a powerful process that allows us to take responsibility for our feelings and to tune into our higher guidance.  Instead of putting our wounded selves in charge, we are instead led by our loving adult and higher guidance. Two powerful, truly sacred & loving questions to ask yourself regularly are:  what's loving to me now?  What's in my highest good now? Inner Bonding is one of the most powerful practices that I have ever come across.  Obviously, results don't happen overnight.  But over time with practice, you begin to develop new neural pathways in the higher brain for the loving adult.  You can change your life, you can love yourself.  Let's dive in!

MARGARET PAUL Dr. Margaret Paul is a bestselling author, relationship expert, and co-creator of the powerful Inner Bonding® self-healing process, recommended by actress Lindsay Wagner and singer Alanis Morissette. She has appeared on numerous radio and television shows (including Oprah).

(Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.) LISTEN TO THE EPISODE TO LEARN ABOUT: The number one (underlying) reason why relationships fail is self-abandonment. One way that we abandon ourselves is we do not take responsibility for our experience, rather we expect our partner to do it for us. “We come into relationship expecting to get love rather than share love.” by Dr. Margaret Paul Instead of taking responsibility, we try to control overtly (i.e. anger or blame) or covertly (i.e. withdrawing or shutting down), both of which have very negative effects on the relationship. What happens when we avoid our feelings. What happens when we learn the value and power of our feelings, and how they can help us “Growing up very few of us learned how to take responsibility for our own fullness, happiness, peace, and joy.” by Dr. Margaret Paul What it would look like if we took responsibility for ourselves (dealing with self abandonment). What happens when we stop blaming our partners, and we learn to accept them. “We often mistake control for love.” by Dr. Margaret Paul How to cultivate self-love. At any given moment, we are operating from one of two intentions. 1. To protect and avoid. 2. To learn and express, and how to know the difference between them. How to access more energy, joy, and happiness on a daily basis.   MENTIONED: Inner Bonding (website) 6 Steps of Inner Bonding (website) Diet For Divine Connection (book) Inner Bonding (book) Healing Your Aloneness (book) Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by You: Second Edition (book) TRANSCRIPT: Click on this link to access the transcript for this episode: If you have a topic you would like me to discuss, please contact me by clicking on the “Ask Dr. Jessica Higgins” button here.
