Crossover Mirroring, or matching movement rhythms, is one of the more complex ways to establish rapport.

When a person makes a certain movement repeatedly, you make a different movement repeatedly as well.

Example:

Someone repeatedly keeps jiggling his or her foot up and down as he/she is sitting down. You drum your fingers on the arm rest of the chair as they do this. When the person stops jiggling his or her foot, you stop drumming your fingers.

Crossover mirroring is a subtle way to create rapport with someone, it is hardly ever noticed. This is because hardly anyone is aware when they are making habitual movements.

Example of other habitual movements that can be used in crossover mirroring to establish rapport are: scratching face/chin, patting hair, pacing up and down the room, adjusting eye glasses, tapping a pencil etc.

Crossover mirroring to establish rapport is taught in the NLP Practitioner course and life coach training.
