1. A computer-implemented method for improving communication and affecting behavior change, the method comprising:
displaying a first learning module to a user, the first learning module describing how to engage in predetermined, neurologically specific non-verbal communication with a person; and displaying a second learning module to a user, the second learning module describing how to engage in predetermined, physically specific posture and body movement toward the person using verbal communication, wherein the eye contact, posture and body movement toward the person evokes a biochemical brain response in the person that allows the person to access mid-brain information and consciously integrated sub-textual feelings with cognitive knowledge and awareness while inviting a positive change in the person through by-passing the person's stress response and their potential fear and resistance to change.
