No. not really. People have reported being accused of using CMs by examiner when they slow down their breathing, etc. in an attempt to relax during questioning. Many examiners are clueless. They don't realize that CMs are used to INCREASE reactions on controls, NOT to lower responses during relevants.
Just follow the advise given in Chapter 3.
And DO NOT volunteer any information concerning relevant questions. They are just fishing for something they can distort and exaggerate and turn into a "disqualifying admission". Think of it as a police interrogation in which the detective is trying to trick or badger you into saying something so they can falsely charge you with a crime you didn't commit. But be polite and respectful, not nasty, belligerent or arrogant. That's their job!

I've been practicing the techniques desribed in chapter 3 of your book for the probable lie control questions, but my question is, how do you help lower your response to the relevent questions? I took a polygraph before and they said i did poorly on it (and which I told the freaking truth)...i'm confident about how to handle the control questions but are there any techniques or advice for helping relax my mind during those relevant questions, my next polygraph is upcoming monday..thanx so much!
