«Open» and «Closed» gestures
Our gestures oftentimes tell something about us that we are not able or willing to communicate verbally. Here is a partical list of «open» and «closed» gestures - «open» are present when a person is ready and willing to communicate, «closed» are present when there may be something standing in the way of honest, complete communication. These gestures can be observed in spouse relationships, parent-child relationships, supervisor-worker relationships, worker-client relationships, and any other time that two people are communicating.
