I peronally view it as the person invades the victims mind and doesn't cause a sensory overload so much as an emotional breakdown. They use the power to manifest every painful and conflicting memory that they can and this overloads the opponents ability to handle the trauma of the severe emotion.
I know it isn't cannon but you see something similar in that dubbed over juggernaut B**** cartoon. When charles attacks him he sees his father and that kind of stuff. His father was a main point of his bad childhood which (if it was cannon) would support this thesis.
So i am just saying that it is possible that it has nothing to do with actual senses overloading but causeing a mental breakdown.
I disagree with this due to a few things.
Firstly, Juggernaut is vulnerable to Psylocke's psi dagger which isn't a telepathic manipulation attack that conjures up past memories. It's a manifestation of psions focussed into the shape of a blade.
Secondly, Juggernaut is vulnerable to psi bolts which are simply bolts of psychic energy (psions). They aren't controlled probes of the psyche, they're basically just energy blasts composed of mental energy.
Thirdly, telepathy is an extra sensory ability. It works directly with sensory input and the higher functions of the brain. You can cause the victim to go blind, become paralyzed, forcible cause them to percieve images that aren't there or react to stimuli that aren't actually present, access their memories, etc. It doesn't deal primarily with emotions (empathy), it deals with the functions of the brain as a whole.
