The “information” section called INFORMATION TO THINK ABOUT AND CONSIDER supports learning about emotions, feelings, ways to be more socially competent, having fun, and resolving challenges.
Collage Care: The Method™ also has a number of physical “easing” tools to increase comfort in the body and nervous system as one learns. When one learns they can have “A-ha” moments. These “I see” chunks of info are used by the brain to comprehend ideas increasing social competence.
Readers are encouraged to then deepen their “I see” learnings by discussing with others. This supports the brain by enhancing attachments, increasing understanding, and building community.

Let’s say you hear a joke.
You comprehend it in your mind.
You may also find yourself clapping with the hands of your body.

Collage Care: The Method™ Exercise-Experiences have “tools” that incorporate large- and small-muscle movements to tend to the body and nervous system.
These tools (collage-making, Qigong actions, somatic movements, and physically “celebrating”) coupled with “information”, sharing with others, and exploring one’s life story all aim to integrate the brain, body and nervous systems to process the learning experience. Wowza!
Listen, there even are more tools than just these in each Exercise-Experience!
