Join a Mob and Ruin Your Life
I’ve added Jake Angeli’s dilemma to the growing list of “Hoist by your own Petard” DramaGuru cases. When your plan to upset another backfires on you, life gets complicated.
Attack
From aggressive to annoying, things people say or do to diminish, frustrate and defeat you.
Creepy Wally Attack: Sexting Ruins Jared Porter, Hoist By His Own Petard

Single Mum, Faerie-Tale Farm
Kierti put the cart before the horse, building her log cabin before getting approval. As a punishment, the planning commission banned her from living on her farm. Trapped! She needs help from a pivot person.

Joyce Meyer, Survivor #MeToo
Evangelist Joyce Meyer says that her father raped her more than 200 times when she was a teenager. In the spirit of using bad experiences to help people sort out what happened to them, I’ve used Joyce’s story to illustrate how people get stuck in traps using what I call a “DramaGuru Analysis”.
