Mirroring is a technique that involves subtly mimicking the behaviors and attributes of someone you are engaging with. This practice often occurs unconsciously and serves to create a connection between individuals by highlighting similarities rather than differences.
According to Susan C. Young in her book "The Art of Body Language," mirroring can significantly enhance non-verbal communication. By reflecting the body language of another person, we convey a message of shared understanding, fostering a sense of rapport and affinity.
