Ruby Wax

I've been getting into Ruby Wax. I think her stuff on mental health is really accessible. Its not aimed specifically at autistic people, moreover it's relevant for anyone and everyone regardless of their neurological make up. This is what I like about her.  I really recommend this video...

  • Thanks. I had a look last night actually. I might join in on one and see what's what.

  • Hi there, yes I did during COVID, they are usually attended by the masses, but it was nice to see Ruby. Frazzled Cafe do lots of other smaller group sessions but you need to register with them and then book onto a session. You can just listen to the other people if you want or join in depending on how you are feeling Slight smile

  • Yes I've heard of this and I shall look into it thank you. Have you attended any?

  • Hi, do you know that Ruby does some mindfulness sessions for The Frazzled Cafe online, if you like her Slight smile

  • I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

  • Ruby Ruby Ruby RUBY! ahh Ruby is a familiar song. Ruby Wax has gained much knowledge with her opening-mind. She is a social chameleon on our Tree of life, somewhere, looking@U while looking@them. She excels. And I haven't watched your link yet. I'll save it for tonight, thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks for sharing I will watch this, looks like it might be interesting and beneficial for myself Slight smile

  • Yes if we can try and find some positives somewhere 

  • I haven't seen it yet but I'll give it a go! Yes she is fantastic. It's interesting how she talks about "the human condition". The video above - in that hour of watching it has helped me far more than the "CBT" I'm doing at the moment. She talks with a Neuroscientist and a buddhist monk. I love how it brings science and philosophy/religion together although I see Buddhism more as a way of life than a religion.

    If you dont watch it all, just go to 12 minutes in and just watch about two minutes of it. We are conditioned to see the negative when there's positive all around us.

  • Her episode of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' made me cry; not just in her family back ground in the Holocaust, but in her family history of mental illness also and the way she responded to it. Fabulous woman!
