The Empath and Shadow Work: Empath as Archetype Volume Four (Volume 4)

The Empath, or highly sensitive, artistic, intuitive person, wants bonded, happy relationships and a career involving her creativity. Yet many times the Empath repeats painful relationship patterns in which she cannot see her hidden motivations. This book describes Shadow Work, the study of discovering those parts of ourselves that are hidden, and how those Shadow parts create unhappy outcomes in our lives. More specifically, this book discusses the Empath's tendency to idealize others, and how to heal this pattern so the Empath does not destroy her relationships. Elaine also describes the reverse role of the Empath being idealized, and how the outcome can be very painful and confusing for the Empath. The author, Elaine La Joie, has spent ten years as a shaman and certified life coach specifically working with Empaths to help them create happier, more fulfilled lives and relationships. The Empath and Shadow Work is the fourth in the series, Empath as Archetype, in which Elaine shows her clients how overarching patterns common to Empaths can change using shamanic perspectiv es and healing techniques. Other volumes in this series: The Empath and the Archetypal Drama Triangle, The Empath and Shamanic Energy Work, Motivations of the Empath, 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
