Inner Healing is the healing of the mind, the will, and the emotions. The man begins by looking at his defense mechanisms. He will face the inner hurts and damaged emotions that were caused by what others have done to him or what he has done to others. This is necessary to help him bring down some of his walls and bring true healing and acceptance.
The lessons in this aspect of the program look at rejection, shame, the father factor, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, guilt, fear, and insecurity. As a result, men are brought to a place of decision and realization. Many times men are victimized as children and the very same hurt that caused anger and unforgiveness in them has turned them from being a victim into a victimizer. The men in the program learn to recognize this and are guided into a healing process. A mental regeneration is achieved, in part, through deep emotional and spiritual healing
