Icebergology™ and Nervous System Formation: A Brief White Paper
Icebergology™ is a Christ-centered model of identity, discipleship, and spiritual formation. While it was not designed as a neuroscience framework, years of clinical practice and lived experience reveal that Icebergology naturally supports nervous system regulation by slowing reactivity, restoring safety, and cultivating wise, responsive action.
This brief white paper outlines how the Icebergology model aligns with well-established principles in psychology, neuroscience, and attachment research—without reducing formation to technique or physiology. Icebergology is offered as a formation pathway rather than a clinical or medical intervention.
This resource is intended for thoughtful readers who want a deeper understanding of the model’s foundations and posture.
This White Paper May Be Helpful For:
- Pastors, elders, and church leaders
- Counselors and clinicians
- Spiritual formation and discipleship leaders
- Seminaries and training programs
- Partners considering collaboration with Icebergology™
