This document introduces "The 3 Tool", a technique for experiential learning involving identifying feelings on cards labeled "I feel angry that...", "I feel grateful that...", etc. It suggests using the tool to switch one's state from negative to positive, noticing patterns in negative statements, and using it with partners to practice affect labeling and emotional expression. Suggested activities with the tool aim to explore its effectiveness at self-attuning the prefrontal cortex or labeling and expressing emotions.

4. The 3 Tool Activities
1. Use it when at state other than 3 and see what
occurs. Does it switch your state to 1?
2. Notice when all negative statements are on the
same topic. (You are at Brain State 3.5 – 4).
3. Listen to your partner use it, and ask him/her
to listen to you use it (“Limbic resonance”)
4. Postulate the mechanism: a) self-attunement
of PFC; b) affect labeling; OR, 3) emotional
expression?
