Psychically the best way to work and defend yourself is in mostly a state of detachment from emotions however there are exceptions. It is said in martial arts the first person that gets angry is the first person that loses the match. This holds true for most emotions and focussing on any one of them too intently clouds judgement and focus on the whole of what you are pursuing. The other extreme can be said as well if you shift from one emotion to the next so quickly. Shock attacks are the second scenario that I have mentioned.

Shock attacks have one use and that is to dismantle or weaken shielding to a point that a more direct and intense psychic attack can be infliced on the victim. In the body the most effective diseases are those that first dismantle the immune system and then work on hurting the internal body. Direct attacks are those that usually are not so effective and they go away quickly given the right medication. The most dangerous bugs and diseases are those that are subtle and either sneak in from other infections or sneak in without the system even being effected primarily.

Shock attacks are a subterfuge for what really the predator intends on doing to the victim. They hit the victim in a series of emotional blows. These blows are "strain" attacks which consist of pummeling the victims awareness of what she or he should be feeling. At one minute they could be feeling happy and secure on the next they are uncomfortable, and angry. This is just one combonation there are countless others. The emotions are often picked because the predator likes and works with them best as well as because the victim has problems dealing with these particuler ones. The effect that usually emotions are twisted from one extreme to the other. This keeps the victim off balance and quickly trying to deal with the overload.

Usually this attack is a first step in trying to place a link or bond on the victim. the predator only needs a small amount of time to get this work done. Once either the predator has placed the link or failed the shock attacks stop.

The psychic predator doing this will accomplish these attacks in the way that they are most competent or effective with. Some can do this on an deeper astral scale. Using the strain attack to give off exceptional strong vibes of the emotion they wish to impart the victim to feel. This is very difficult with an aware victim. This type of activity is mostly likely used with the predators target is sleeping. Even then though this is very difficult and the amount of energy needed to cause a strain attack of this level of power is enormous it would also take numerous times in order to achieve a real lock on the victim.

Normally this type of attack occurs when both parties are speaking to each other. The predator gives the vibes of the emotion that he or she wants the victim to feel and then moves the converstaion that way. All of a sudden the tone of the chat changes and moves in another direction thus giving off the extreme opposite of the emotion that was first used. The tone and direction of the whole conversation changes many times until the agenda has either failed or the shock attack has succeeded and the secondary is then going to be pulled off.

The predator has to have a decent awareness of the victims shielding and be able to on the fly detect any weakness or opening extremely fast though it does depend on the power and experience of the victim. The predator also has to be able to feel the emotions that he is giving out and yet still remain detached from them in order to pursue this work. This is still a very high level of energy to be throwing out in trying to influence the victim. Depending on the power level of the predator they most likely will not be able to maintain it for long periods of time. Or they will not be able to keep detaching from it.

An effective defence against this attack is very simple. the victim leaves the environment that the attack is taking place. breaks the connection that is needed for the predator to continue the attack. This is undeniably the worst thing that you can do to the predator. They will try anything to keep you around, taunting you challenging you, appealing to your curiousity, putting guilt trips on you. You might find mails of some sort electronic or physical hoping to regain that contact with you again. they might call you or show up in the blue in a place they would never go just to try to regain that connection and continue their efforts. This is all though once again dependant on the predators need and ability for continuing its plan or agenda.

Another defence is simply detaching and not allowing any emotional influence to occur against you. Let the predator burn itself out. This also means that your shielding must be quite strong depending on the level of the attack as well as your detachment ability to keep the focussed vibes or emotions against you not able to influence you at all.

the other way for those that are sick of defending and letting go and let live those that are trying to do you harm can counterattack. Remember that the predator is using an enormous amount of energy in order to hit you and weaken your defences. This also means that its own is not being focussed on for the most part. the predator will also in time burn itself out and not be able to maintain the attack thus leaving it in a drained state. Those that have experience in using their own psychic attacks can hit at these weak points.
