In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling podcast, we explore the powerful technique of Heightening, a core skill from the NICC Basic Training course. Heightening involves intensifying a participant’s emotional experience through vivid imagery, repetition, and attuned language, bringing clarity to both positive and negative emotions. By amplifying the participant's experience, care providers help them gain a deeper understanding of their internal world, setting the stage for transformation or deeper emotional connection.

This episode unpacks the R.I.S.S.S.C. principle—Repeat, Image, Simple, Slow, Soft, and Client's Words—used to increase the intensity of an experience in the therapeutic space, helping participants process their feelings more effectively. Whether deepening a positive moment or transforming a negative one, Heightening fosters emotional insight, healing, and lasting change.
