Estrangement, Relationships & the Drama Triangle

When relationships become painful or complicated, how do we know whether to stay, establish boundaries, or walk away?

In this four-part series, Elaine La Joie, Laughing Coyote Shaman, explores the complexities of family estrangement, changing friendships, and the unconscious patterns that keep us caught in the Drama Triangle.

Through real-life client stories and shamanic perspectives, discover how personal responsibility, emotional awareness, and healthy boundaries can help empaths navigate difficult relationships with greater clarity, compassion, and personal empowerment.
