(1) Giving people more than they give you. (2) Getting caught in a situation that is beyond your ability to escape. (3) In martial arts, forcing your opponent into a situation that allows you to submit and defeat him.

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”.
