What is a sadramble?
v. to buy into and reinforce victimhood via neurotic repetition of one's sad, sad story.
n. a person who engages in sadrambles, often at the expense of others' growth and learning.
Ex. "I really enjoyed the latest seminar on breakthroughs for abundance, but that one lady who sadrambled at the mic and wouldn't shut up even when the speaker started clapping her off made me really uncomfortable."
Sadrambles are everywhere. They are our clients, our families, our friends, and most uncomfortably, ourselves.
A sadramble is often denoted by a deadening of the eyes, a change in the register and tone of voice to something younger and sadder. A sadramble is a well-worn ring in the carpet of neurosis. It is a saggy mattress that shifts its owner straight to the broken down, creaky center of stagnation.
Sadrambles are particularly uncomfortable to face when one has just had a breakthrough in personal growth and development. They are the thing we most fear encountering after our latest inspirational lovefest seminar. We check out of our hotel rooms with a sense of creeping dread. How will I keep my newfound positivity sage from the sadrambles back home?
The thought of cutting off all sadrambles in our lives, including those that live within us, often terrifies. On one end of the spectrum you have personal development coaches suggesting gentle extraction over a long period of time and a gravitation toward more positive influences. On the other end you have the ruthless, type A firebombs of anti-codependence exhorting you to STOP TAKING THEIR PHONE CALLS from this day forward.
I've always embraced the middle path. This blog teaches how to extract the sadramble in all of us so we can stop attracting the sadrambles in everyone else.
