Disruption Experience

A broad umbrella term that covers real situations of Gangstalking/ Organized Harassment/ Disruption Operations, as well as incorrect perceptions of harassment due to mental illness. “Disruption Experience” is a deliberately vague term that acknowledges a person’s experience of disruption in their life, when there still exists uncertainty or disagreement as to what the true cause of the problem is.

This allows for a discussion to proceed without having to pre-emptively characterize (or mischaracterize) what the problem is. It avoids rigid binary thinking, and instead allows opposing truths to coexist without needing immediate resolution.

(1) Tina was experiencing a serious problem in her life. She called it gangstalking, while her father called it a delusion. Each took offence at the other’s choice of wording. In order to be able to discuss the matter without it deteriorating into an argument, they agreed to refer to her problem as a “Disruption Experience”. This allowed the conversation to proceed more openly as they gradually worked toward a mutual determination of which of the two cases was truly occurring.

(2) Under a possible co-responder model, the initial contact person (either police or mental health) receiving a complaint about gangstalking would log the complaint as a “Disruption Experience”. This avoids having to make a determination on the spot, before the complaint is properly evaluated/ investigated. This neutral term avoids a possible mischaracterization at the outset, which can be difficult to undo later on. Even if a satisfactory outcome is not achieved, the Disruption Experience complaint would still be on record for possible follow-up, future review, …or even for research purposes, to gain a better understanding of this problem overall.
