body language

I will admit that I am a people watcher. When I am sitting in a restaurant or on a park bench, I am fascinated watching people when they are talking with someone else. I am not really able to catch what is being said, but by watching the body language I can usually pick up on what type of communication is happening. It is amazing sometimes what people say with their bodies. You see some people close the other person out by crossing they arms and/or legs, heads shaking yes and no in response to what the other person is saying, and facial expressions that run the gamut. I have told my husband if he finds any seminars (and/or books) on the subject I would like to be invited to go (or read it). There is a television program on regular TV, that involves using body language to tell if people are lying or not, and I try not to miss an episode. This skill of body language would be exceedingly valuable for me as I pursue my dream of becoming a marriage and family therapist.
