Nonverbal Communication in Relationships

You have often heard it referred to as “body language.” However nonverbal communication encompasses so much more. It’s the silent language that uses body movement, posture, gestures and signs, facial and eye expressions, tone of voice and even silence to help us more effectively communicate with others.

Do you ever wish you knew what someone was thinking or wondered why someone reacted negatively to you during a first encounter? Perhaps you have had the experience of agonizing over what you could have said differently that would have communicated the intended message and not the wrong one they apparently received. Have you ever reacted negatively to someone else and not been able to determine why or even if it was a fair assessment? 

Most people have been taught that good communication is all about carefully choosing the right words--and as a result this is where their attention goes. This often results in confusion, disappointment, and second guessing about the "right thing" they could have/should have said. Approximately 73% of what we communicate is nonverbal, so what are you waiting for? If you don’t master this important language, your dating life and relationships will never reach their full potential and you may always find yourself wondering; “What did I say wrong?”
