I routinely show certain body language to my T intentionally to signal him what I am feeling that I am unable to say or when I don't want to use words. I know my body language well enough to use it this way. It's a very effective means of communication when the other person understands your "language." It doesn't work at all with people who are dolts, lol. Of course, there is unconscious and unintentional body language too.
