The psionic self-defense class at XS is geared for all people, not just those with psionic abilities. While it is generally not possible for someone without psionic abilities to thwart a determined psionic assault, it is the case in this class -- as in many self-defense classes -- that the best protection is never getting into the fight in the first place. Given that it is not going to be possible for non-psionics to /stop/ a psionic intrusion, the aim of this class is to help teach students mental discipline and techniques helpful for avoiding notice and keeping unwanted thoughts from surfacing too strongly.

This class's goals are to help students order their minds enough to minimize stray surface thoughts that may be overheard by psionic eavesdroppers, to help keep thoughts under control so as not to attract mental scrutiny, to recognize the signs of psionic manipulation, and to learn grounding techniques for maintaining emotional stability in the face of mild psionic influence.
