The Benefits of Crying by Body Language Expert Patti Wood

We know that crying is a stress reducer, lowering blood pressure and pulse rate immediately following therapy sessions were patients cried.
And removing toxins like the stress hormone cortisol and reducing manganese a mineral that affects mood, and when elevated is associated with anxiety and aggression. We also know that the breathing changes after crying often slowing down. As a body language expert, I appreciate the crying signals your body to perhaps acknowledge hidden emotions and show them to you and others, and once communicated the emotion can pass. Crying also can signal others that the crier is in distress and needs comforting and assistance. I love how we say, “What you need is a good cry.” Acknowledging that crying helps release tension and let feelings out so we can process them and move on.

Body Language Expert Patti Wood Reveals the Body Language of Bette Davis White Veil in THE LETTER

One piece of clothing changes everything in a film. As a body language expert and lover of classic films, I notice and admire how this lace veil worn by Bette Davis in the movie THE LETTER is used to first to make her appear like an innocent bride about to be wed but instead shown as she is unveiled as a murderess and adulteress.
FYI I am not revealing the end of the movie, in one of the best opening scenes of any movie ever we see Bette character with the glare that earned her Bette Davis eye fame shoot down her lover.
