In this segment of a therapeutic discussion, the speaker explains that recovery workshops not only address inner child wounds but also actively teach participants, primarily men, how to experience intimacy. Many of these men have never learned basic physical affection—such as being touched, caressed, or cared for—due to their upbringing. The workshop provides their first genuine experience of intimacy, which the speaker describes as a powerful, positive breakthrough that helps them begin to heal their inner child and develop healthier relational patterns.

Is we're not only healing the inner child, but in these workshops, we're teaching intimacy. And you think that people know what intimacy is. A lot of these, a lot of these young men and older men have never experienced it. And it starts with the parents again. They've never learned how to be touched. They've never learned what caressing and caring is. And so this is the first time for many that they're learning this, something so easy that maybe you and I know. But I'm telling you, in these workshops and these therapy sessions that I have, this is probably the first time they've really received any type of true intimacy and it cracks them in a good way. Yeah. Yeah.
