In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling podcast, we explore the skill of Naming, a key aspect of emotional and relational healing within the NICC framework. Taken from the NICC Basic Training course, Naming involves assigning language to emotions, thoughts, and sensations, helping participants make sense of their internal world. By putting words to what was previously unspoken, participants can better understand, regulate, and share their experiences.

This episode unpacks how Naming bridges the gap between the felt experience and conscious awareness, allowing participants to gain insight, process emotions, and foster deeper connections with themselves and others. Whether naming difficult emotions like shame or joy-filled moments of peace, this skill lays the groundwork for transformation and healing.

Drawing from the NICC Basic Training course, this episode explores how care providers track subtle changes in body language, tone, and emotion, while using mindful awareness to understand the participant's inner world.

Through real-time observation of the here-and-now, Noticing helps to bring unconscious feelings and thoughts into the light, setting the stage for deeper emotional exploration and healing.

In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling podcast, we explore the powerful practice of Delighting—an essential skill in the NICC framework. Taken from the NICC Basic Training course, Delighting is the intentional act of sharing encouragement and affirmation with participants by reflecting positive truths about them. Through the practice of “Shining,” care providers mirror God’s affirming love, helping participants internalize their worth and identity in Him.

Drawing from biblical concepts like the Aaronic blessing and Jesus' baptism, Delighting fosters a healing environment where participants experience unconditional love and acceptance, empowering them to recognize their true value. Whether affirming strengths or encouraging growth, this practice serves as a bridge between intellectual knowledge and experiential truth, enabling lasting transformation.
