Here we examine the psychological drivers behind the need for counter surveillance and how the human brain reacts to these stimuli. Counter measures viewed from a totally different perspective than ever before.

The brain is unable to maintain a healthy emotion and therefore fit survival state for themselves if is constantly in a state of fear. Acute fear is designed to help us escape from positions of perceived danger but the prolonged version i.e. a state of chronic fear is debilitating over long periods. Conditions that may cause arousal of this natural phenomenon are many yet one cause stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to longer term conditions, that of the fear of being observed without consent. Some people experience this as the hairs on the back of their necks standing up in a type of sixth sense experience. This is the brain responding to its own counter surveillance activity.

How Fear Drives Protection & Counter Surveillance

Some might wonder what can be done to help the brain feel safe thereby helping immediate personal circumstances but how much better that it would provide massive benefits too. The answer lies in considering the likelihood of surveillance followed by the nature and the level of damage discovery might cause.
