S5E10 – Ruth Clare: Courage – and Confidence – through Action

Ruth Clare, quite rightly, describes herself as a “multi-passionate human who doesn't fit neatly into a box!” Her formal credits include being a TEDx and motivational keynote speaker, award-winning author, embodied speaking coach, performer, mental health and child voice activist, as well as a qualified scientist with demonstrated expertise in authenticity, resilience and change. In this podcast, Ruth speaks with the boys about her traumatic childhood, which she captures in her truly moving memoir Enemy. But more than this, she also speaks about her growth from that point, and what she’s learned about the mind, the body and human interaction along the way. 04:42 Opening with a sobering quote from Ruth’s book 06:45 What was it like to be living as a child under the spectre of domestic violence? 10:30 Why Ruth wrote her book Enemy and what she’s learnt about some of the drivers for her father’s violence 16:30 Did Ruth ever feel safe at home? 20:30 How Ruth has worked to deal with the trauma that she suffered as a child, including focusing on her internal locus of control 27:00 Broaching the issues of PTSD with people who may be suffering…and the potential downsides of ‘trigger warnings’ 37:15 Discussions on contemporary treatments for PTSD 47:30 Ruth’s resilience tools 52:20 Ruth’s power song !
