Mirroring gestures can establish rapport and build trust from "summary" of The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara Pease,Allan Pease

Mirroring gestures is a powerful tool that can be used to establish rapport and build trust in social interactions. When people mirror each other's gestures, movements, and expressions, it creates a sense of connection and similarity between them. This mirroring behavior can happen naturally when people are in sync with each other, such as when they are having a good conversation or working together towards a common goal. Mirroring gestures can help to create a positive and harmonious atmosphere in a social interaction. When two people mirror each other's body language, it sends a signal that they are on the same wavelength and understand each other's thoughts and feelings. This can help to strengthen the bond between them and build a sense of trust and rapport. Mirroring gestures can also be a way to show empathy and understanding towards another person. By mirroring someone's gestures and expressions, you are showing that you are paying attention to them and trying to connect with them on a deeper level. This can help to create a sense of mutual respect and appreciation in the interaction. In addition to establishing rapport and building trust, mirroring gestures can also help to improve communication between people. When two people mirror each other's body language, they are more likely to be in tune with each other's thoughts and emotions. This can help to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts, as both parties are more likely to be on the same page and understand each other's intentions.
  1. Mirroring gestures can be a powerful tool for enhancing social interactions and building positive relationships with others. By mirroring someone's gestures and expressions, you can establish rapport, build trust, improve communication, and show empathy and understanding towards them. So next time you find yourself in a social situation, try mirroring the other person's body language and see how it can help to create a stronger connection between you.
