Healing Self-Abandonment & Becoming the Loving Adult You Never Had: Dr Margaret Paul

Why do so many of us feel anxious, disconnected, or low — even when, on the surface, life looks fine? Psychologist and author Dr Margaret Paul believes the answer lies in self-abandonment — the subtle but powerful ways we disconnect from our feelings, judge ourselves, and hand responsibility for our emotional lives to others. In this episode, Simon is joined by the creator of the Inner Bonding process, a six-step pathway to healing that’s helped tens of thousands of people reconnect to themselves. This conversation is particularly personal — as Margaret’s work had a big impact on Simon’s life over a decade ago, and continues to inform his own work around burnout, flow and self-leadership today. What we explore: The four core ways people abandon themselves How digital distraction keeps us emotionally disconnected What it means to develop a “loving adult” inner voice Practices for tuning into your feelings with compassion How this work can transform relationships, leadership and wellbeing https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-course https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-coaching My links: Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/book YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Website: simonmundie.com Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Info@simonmundie.com Learn more about your ad choices.
