Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

According to the University of Zurich, at least 15% of the entire population experiences stalking in their lifetime. For those who feel vunerable to a stalker - the workplace which has public access - can increase their sense of exposure and anxiety. Have you felt stalked at work?

While we hear about celebrities such as John Lennon who was murdered by a stalker he did not know, about 75% of victims know their stalkers and go unknown to the media.

In most cases the victim is being manipulated into doing what the stalker wants.

This month’s Scientific American Mind defines stalking as …

 “the phase of hunting prior to the kill, in which a predator tracks and approaches its prey, boxing in the quarry and never letting it out of sight. Stalkers not only obsessively monitor their targets but repeatedly accost them as well – through phone calls, emails, letters or encounters on the street. Some stalkers also send gifts or more frightening fare, such as a photo collage with the victim’s face replaced by a skull. Stalkers may also order merchandise in their victim’s name or start vicious rumors about them.”
