I love Ruby Wax. I enjoyed viewing her when she interviewed our very own Imelda Marcos of the Philippines. Wish you well Ruby Wax. May God bless you always.
Great mutual dialogue and honesty. I found Sane New World very helpful when I read it. Also I saw Ruby on Tour live at that time. She is very engaging and professional in her work. We need her in government more than ever. I wish she could be more visible in our everyday lives. We are in an epidemic of Mental health and illness and we have to move this to the top of the political agenda alongside our climate. More Greta and Ruby in our lives could really create a bedrock in our precarious well-being and society. It really is important and we would all benefit enormously.
Knowing our own minds, calming down the frontal cortex and amygdala, turning off the fight or flight response; that's the key to understanding our thoughts and changing our reactions. Our anxiety is a direct response to past trauma. Our brains are still reacting like it's still happening and we react to current challenges as though they're all life threatening. Learning this is the key to being able to cope with uncertainty and be able to practice calm, mental resilience.
