Michael Cohen Comments & Profile during Congressional Testimony on 2/27/2019

To conduct this analysis, what I call the Non-Verbal Leak (NVL) must be established. It is a referential message reflecting the unconscious other-half of the person’s message.

The NVL is a repetitive, patterned movement from the shoulders up that reflects unresolved, perceived trauma manifesting old decisions or strategies from one’s past. It is unconscious and visible to others; it is testable. It is a way of looking at the unconscious strategies that the individual presents in his or her total nonverbal behavior.

The Non-Verbal Leak (NVL), which manifest in a person's facial expressions or mannerisms comes from the unconscious, there is absolutely no way an individual can control, modify or prevent its appearance. Accordingly, these signs are consistent, repeatable, and predictable. The next step is to establish the symbolic meaning of the NVL. This means decoding the nonverbal responses into their unconscious symbolic meaning on three levels: impact, primary emotion, and primary coping strategy. This is the sum total of an individual’s interaction regarding the expression of basic emotional strategies.
