Christian UitzingerPsychologist & Mental Health Lead, The Royal Ballet School
“This is a comprehensive roadmap to self-actualisation as a performer: relief from the suffering of performance anxiety, freedom to believe in oneself and one’s unique talent and the bravery and skills to present them to the world. Valuable to artists and performers alike, whatever the quality of their relationship with their art form.”
Ed Lyonclassical tenor and Brainspotting Therapist.
“Free to Perform wonderfully captures the work I've been doing with Ruth for years. This is the one book that will stay on my desk at all times, so that I may refer to it often. In short, Ruth's book and her ground-breaking approach are life-changing.”
Boo WalkerBestselling author of An Echo in Time
“Ruth really gets under the hood of how performance blocks develop. This was particularly valuable in getting a clear understanding of where we are and what we need to do next. Each tool is useful in its own right and they develop into a powerful method of moving from survival to safety and expansion. A powerhouse of a book!”
Alan FreeburnClinical Associate in Applied Psychology in Adult Mental Health, Brainspotting Performance Therapist.
