    About this ebook

    The Empath, or highly sensitive, artistic, intuitive person, wants bonded, happy family relationships and soul mate partnerships.  Yet many times the Empath becomes caught playing out the roles of the Archetypal Drama Triangle, which always lead to unhappy relationship outcomes.  In this book learn the three roles of Drama, how the Empath tends to play these roles, and how the Empath can stay off the Triangle and instead spend energy building happy, loving relationships.  

    The author, Elaine La Joie, has spent ten years as a shaman and certified life coach specifically helping Empaths with their personal transformation so they can create happier, more fulfilled lives and relationships.  The Empath and the Archetypal Drama Triangle is the first in the series, Empath as Archetype, in which Elaine shows her clients how overarching patterns common to Empaths as described by the Enneagram Type Four can change using shamanic perspectives and energy healing techniques including Soul Retrieval and Shadow Work.

    Other volumes in this series:  The Empath and Shamanic Energy Work, Motivations of the Empath, The Empath and Shadow Work, and The Empath and the Fan-Hero Family System.  Each volume builds on the previous volumes.  Visit Elaine's website at www.elainelajoie.com for more resources for Empaths.

      The Empath and the Archetypal Drama Triangle - Elaine LaJoie

      DEDICATION

      To Grant, without your love and support, these books would have never been written

      CONTENTS

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      These books are based on combinations of client stories from my private practice and from my own personal experience.  There would be no lessons to share with you without the courageous efforts of my clients in healing themselves so they can have the lives and relationships that they desire.

      1 INTRODUCTION

      I am an Empath who has been working as a coach, mentor, and shaman for about ten years.  Most of my clients are also Empaths.  I decided to write this series of books when I realized that I repeated the same concepts and materials to my clients, and those clients usually used their new knowledge for great improvement in their lives.  Since Empaths tend to love books on self-improvement, writing one of my own seemed like the next right step, especially since not all Empaths have access to their own personal shaman.  My teachers have included other Empaths, like Sonia Choquette and Julia Cameron, plus shaman teachers like Alberto Villoldo, Linda Fitch, Debra Grace, Greta Holmes, and Marv Harwood.  If you’ve enjoyed Sonia Choquette’s and Julia Cameron’s work, you will most likely find these books useful.  The shaman likes to get to the deep, nitty-gritty, and sometimes painfully messy work and release it.  So, some of the work in this book may not feel inspirational or particularly easy to read.  But, if you are an Empath, you probably aren’t afraid of dealing with the darker emotional states, and in fact you may be relieved to hear how one Empath overcame obstacles particular to Empaths.

      Empaths have the ability to feel the emotions and physical sensations of others, especially our loved ones.  In extreme cases, Empaths can develop the same personality traits and physical symptoms of the people to whom they are closest.  This ability in the Empath is usually unconscious and therefore uncontrolled.  More than anything, Empaths want to have close, loving, bonded, rewarding relationships, and most Empaths want this with a Life Partner.  But for many Empaths, the area of Relationship is either difficult or dissatisfying, precisely because we tend to tune in to what the other person needs and then lose ourselves in the process—in other words, we lose that relationship with ourselves as we relate to others.  As we come into right relationship with ourselves, old ways of being that did not fit our true selves fall away.  Relationships centered around old roles and rules either end or evolve, and new relationships based on our rediscovered selves take their place.

      While our goal may be to create wonderful relationships, this journey of healing enough to be ready for such connections can make us wish we had never started the process.  It is my hope that by following the stories of typical Empaths in creating the lives that they really wanted, this book will serve as a guide for Empaths who want to understand their relationships and their own hidden motivations.  The personal healing work involved can be intense, but it is worth it.  May this book help you on your own personal journey.

      WHAT IS AN EMPATH?

      ––––––––

      One way of describing an Empath is the ability of someone to feel the emotional, mental, and physical symptoms of people around the Empath, especially those that the Empath loves, as if those emotions and sensations originated in the Empath.  The untrained Empath literally cannot tell the difference between her emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations and those of another.  An Empath can easily absorb the emotions of others, and in some cases, she can be overtaken by the physical symptoms of others.  Without skill, the Empath can become very ill.  Some Empaths are so sensitive that they cannot take public transportation and must avoid large groups of people or feel completely overwhelmed by what most people consider normal stimuli.

      Honoring the Empath’s sensitivity is the first step in healing.  This very sensitivity is the reason that Empaths make natural healers, artists, and intuitives.  Empaths can also make great performers, literally channeling their roles.  It is this ability to role-play and to respond that can get Empaths into trouble in their relationships; Empaths can confuse a performance or a role with their essential selves. 

      In such cases Empaths can use their sensitivity to collude with the group instead of honor their individuality.  The Empath can be easily caught up in drama because she is so psychically in tune with everyone around her.  The ability of the Empath to enmesh herself with others can lead the Empath to waste her life supporting others without her understanding how she became the anchor for their
