Mirroring

Definition

A rapport-building technique in which a person matches another's external behavior as a mirror image — if the other person raises their right hand, you raise your left. Mirroring is subtly different from matching and can feel more natural in face-to-face interactions. Like matching, mirroring operates primarily at the unconscious level and creates a powerful sense of resonance and connection when done smoothly and without drawing attention to itself.
