Send us a text

In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling podcast, we explore how to navigate emergent situations with calm, faith, and a neuroscience-informed approach. Whether you're a pastoral counselor, coach, or lay leader, handling crises like suicidal ideation or psychiatric emergencies requires a blend of spiritual and psychological wisdom.

We discuss practical steps to stay grounded in prayer (Philippians 4:6-7), calm the nervous system, and help others feel safe by addressing the neurological dysregulation often triggered in such moments. Through these experiences, we model the love of Christ (Hebrews 13:5), offering phrases that alleviate feelings of aloneness and stress. You'll also learn the importance of knowing the individual’s location, connecting them with emergency services, and consulting with supervisors—all crucial for providing effective and responsible care.

By integrating biblical principles with cutting-edge neuroscience, this episode highlights NICC’s holistic approach, offering listeners practical tools for handling crises with grace and emotional regulation.
