Authentic relating Baltimore: Embodiment Communication
Communication extends far beyond speaking and listening; it involves a dynamic interplay of verbal and nonverbal elements that convey meaning. Nonverbal communication, often referred to as body language, includes facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, gestures, and eye contact—all of which significantly shape how messages are received and interpreted. These cues can reveal emotions, attitudes, and intentions, profoundly influencing perceptions of trustworthiness and emotional states.
This dimension of communication is both fascinating and often underestimated, as it invites us to reconsider conventional ways of interacting. By embracing this perspective, we can gain a richer, more nuanced understanding of the world—one that our culture may have long overlooked.
