About a year late, I've discovered a new television show, Pushing Daisies. I've read that it's in some danger of being cancelled which doesn't surprise me given that it's different, interesting, blah, blah....
I will leave the description of the show's premise to the people who created it.
Even though, the show itself has nothing to do with Mind Control or things of that sort, there was a brief scene in a recent episode which looks as though it was lifted out of an NLP manual on mirroring.
Mirroring is an attempt to build rapport or 'break the ice' with another person. What you do is emulate, not mimic, the other person's body language, posture, tone of voice, and/or key phrases as you speak. The idea is that someone is more likely to open up to someone like themselves, and if you can look and sound like that person, they will open up to you and be more receptive to what you have to say.
This works both ways. For the person doing the mirroring, by simulating the other person's behaviours and listening to their words, the listener is more likely to get a sense of what their subject is trying to say, and both parties become more engaged in the conversation and can discover common ground they can both stand on.
Back to the show. Briefly, Charlotte (Chuck to her friends) wants to discover the whereabouts of the young girl's friend. This friend has run away from home. The young girl, as becomes clear, does not wish to divulge said information, but can't seem to help herself (watch the first minute please):
Neat.
