  • Episode 538 - Destroy Rapport, Break The Mirror, And Increase Influence
    Nov 21 2024

    “Breaking the mirror” is a term used to describe how lawyers intentionally disrupt the psychological connection, or rapport, with a witness on the stand. That disconnect is also called antipathy. During questioning, attorneys may initially mirror the witness’s tone, energy, rate, and body language to connect and build trust but then strategically break that alignment to create discomfort. This shift is particularly effective in creating pressure and undermining a witness’s confidence.
