Validating [NICC Episode #20]

Send us a text

In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling podcast, we explore the transformative power of Validation—a core skill from the NICC Basic Training course. Validation acknowledges, legitimizes, and accepts participants' feelings, thoughts, and beliefs, helping them feel seen, heard, and understood. Through this practice, care providers foster an empathetic and non-judgmental space, encouraging participants to explore their internal world with acceptance and self-compassion.

Validation honors each participant’s unique experience and story, making it a key step in the healing process. By reflecting feelings, affirming struggles, and legitimizing their experience, care providers help reduce shame and foster deeper emotional exploration.
