Body Language
Is it possible to read facial expressions to tell when someone isn't being truthful?
We find it much more difficult to control our facial expressions than our choice of words.
In fact, researchers have proven conclusively that their are certain muscles in our face that are very difficult to control and these are the muscles that are the most reliable in lie detection.
These facial expressions are triggered by emotion and are involuntary.
Some that have mastered the ability to interpr...

Being a parent is not an easy job at the best of times. While we all want to do the best for our children, we sometimes inadvertantly allow the pressures and frustrations of everyday life to show themselves when we talk with our children.
Children are incredibly perceptive to our moods and behaviour. Why ? Because they have to be, we teach them almost everything they know in the first few years of life so they pick up on these things without really having to try very hard at all.
If we'r...

ADHD - Analogies From Life
I have always enjoyed relating symptoms and limitations associated with ADHD to real life examples. I will write about my favorites in this newsletter. Some of them I made up (at least I think I did "you know us ADHD types"), and others I have read elsewhere, or gotten from others.

Body Language
What's the difference between body disposition and body language? "Body Language" is what we observe in someone else. For instance, I might "assume" that you're angry or defensive when you sit across from me with your arms crossed. Or, I might "assume" that you're arrogant if you speak with me with your hands on your hips. There are numerous "body language" assessments that have us "guessing" at another persons mood or emotion. When, in fact, they're nothing more than a guess. A suggestion is, t...

Body Language
How does someone set himself or herself up to be a teacher of sensuality? You certainly don't wake up one morning and say, "I think I will teach a sensuality class." As my dear friend and mentor, Gary Austin, says, "You don't decide to become a teacher. It is when someone asks you to teach them that you become a teacher." And that is what happened to me.
In February of 1999, I performed in my home town, New York, in a benefit show for Artistic New Directions, a non-profit theater company. I ...

Body Language
One of the most influential modes of communication we utilize in our day to day interactions is our non-verbal, or body language. It is the mode of communication which ignites our "gut level" emotions and responses. Research has shown that acquiring an understanding of body language increases one's ability to be successful at getting anything one wants out of any given situation.
Have you ever watched a couple sitting together and in minutes had a sense of how good or bad their relationship w...

Patients with personality disorders have a body language specific to their disorder. It comprises an unequivocal series of subtle presenting signs.

Cats, like many other animals, communicate a variety of messages using body language. Examples include arching their backs as a signal of fear or aggression and slowly blinking to signal relaxation. As is the case with dogs, the tail is often used as a signaling mechanism. A twitch can indicate minor irritation, and a tail held high suggests confidence. A cat who chooses to lie with its stomach and chest exposed conveys happiness, trust and comfort. A cat with tail held high and twitching shows ...

Circumstances that have no direct connection with the current group gathering can still greatly impact the balance and effectiveness of a group.
