Unconscious Communication
Unconscious Communication is a term used to describe subtle, unintentional, unconscious cues that provide information to another individual. It can be verbal: speech patterns, physical activity while speaking or the tone of voice of an individual. Or it can be nonverbal communication: facial expressions and body language. Many decisions are based on unconscious communication. Little is known about the unconscious mind or about how decisions are made based on unconscious communications except for the fact that they are always unintentional. Also, there are two types of unconscious communications: intrapersonal and interpersonal.

Intrapersonal Unconscious Communication
Intrapersonal communication is language use or thought internal to the communicator. It can be useful to envision intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver, and feedback loop. Intrapersonal unconscious communication is when dreams, previous experiences, or hypnosis affects a person’s choices or experiences unconsciously.

Interpersonal Unconscious Communication
Interpersonal communication includes message sending and message reception between two or more individuals. This can include all aspects of communication such as listening, persuading, asserting, nonverbal communication, and more. Interpersonal unconscious communication includes unintentional facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and speech patterns while interacting with another individual that the other individual interprets for their own knowledge.

There are six different reasons for nonverbal communication:
 * 1) Numbered list item Complementing: adding extra information to the verbal message
 * 2) Contradicting: when our nonverbal messages contradict our verbal messages
 * 3) Repeating: used in order to emphasize or clarify the verbal message
 * 4) Regulating: serves to coordinate the verbal dialogue between people
 * 5) Substituting: occurs when a nonverbal message is transmitted in place of a verbal message
 * 6) Accenting: emphasizing a particular point in a verbal message
