Ruth Clare

Hello! I’m Ruth Clare, an author and TEDx speaker sharing the mental health tools and insights that have helped me own my stories and rewrite my life. I’m not a psychologist, but I had a traumatic childhood, and have sat inside the rooms of therapists, and read deeply and written on mental health, for over twenty years. I have also recently discovered I have ADHD, so Go Team Neurodivergent! I hate that stigmas around help-seeking, and that lack of money might mean people don’t get the help they need. This is my version of making mental health support available to all. I don’t believe in blind positivity or pretending dark stories don’t exist. I recognize that healing and growth can be painful and scary and hard, which is why we so often avoid it. But I know that if you put in the effort it is possible to change your life story and live a more open, authentic, loving, purposeful and creative life. I would love you to go on this journey with me.
