Sarah K Ramsey Launches Projects to Help People Avoid Toxic Relationships and Promote Self-Love

Sarah K Ramsey will never forget the wails of the mourning teenagers that had just heard the news about cheerleader Emma Walker. Emma had been shot in the head while sleeping. Emma tried to break up with her controlling boyfriend many times before, but he refused to let her get away. An entire community asked, “How did this happen?” Sarah asked, “How do we make sure this never happens again?” She began diving into the complicated nature of toxic relationships and soon developed a program called Mental Health Mondays to teach teens about healthy relationships. However, Sarah soon found out that the best way to help teenagers is to help their parents.

Now Sarah is the life coach who “gives children back their mothers.” She helps people who have experienced pain from a toxic parent, partner, family member, or coworker get past the past, get real about the present, and serious about the future. So much information on toxic relationships is about figuring out what is wrong with ourselves, yet Sarah’s work helps men and women figure out what is right with them. While most experts within the mental health community focus on the wounded inner child or codependency, Sarah teaches you how to overcome Smart-girl or Smart-guy syndrome. Through her conversations with people all over the world, she recognized how many intelligent, loyal and successful people were being told they had codependency issues. In reality, these people were applying the work ethic that made them successful in other arenas to their most difficult relationships. She shares, “If you want to get better at basketball, you may put more time, energy, and effort into perfecting your shooting skills. Traditional healing teaches us if you want to have a better relationship, then you put more time, energy, and effort into the relationship. While conscious time and effort can improve many relationships, more work and attention do not improve toxic relationships. In fact, toxic people will be thrilled for you to keep working harder at the relationship so they can avoid changing. If you keep the focus on your efforts, then you will keep your focus off the toxic person’s bad behavior.”

Sarah’s work also teaches to stop wrestling crocodiles. Many experts have commented that we are a society obsessed with narcissism, and far too many of us are labeling those around us as narcissists. In her best-selling book Becoming Toxic Person Proof: Clear the Confusion and Learn to Trust Yourself, she talks about how we can be obsessed with the type of person we are wrestling with and forget that the more we wrestle the crocodile, the longer the crocodile will be able to bite us. For Sarah, It doesn’t really matter if the person you are emotionally wrestling with is a covert narcissist, sociopath, psychopath, or just a selfish jerk. What does matter is how badly they are hurting you and what kind of damage they are causing in your life. 

Sarah is on a mission to clear up the confusion surrounding toxic relationships and to stop people from having their kindness used against them. People who work with her learn they can be both sweet and savvy, as they develop healthy relationships with themselves and others. Sarah also helps get the focus off the toxic people and “put your focus on creating an amazing future for yourself and your family.“
