Are You Ready to Rewrite The Rules? 

Rewrite the Rules

Abusive, toxic, and controlling relationships have rules about who you're allowed to be. This course is designed to help you target where "their" voice lives in your head, break those rules, and write your own.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ruth, and I’m a survivor of a 10-year abusive marriage.


This is where I help you understand what happened to you, with clarity, compassion, humor, and science!

If you or someone you love is trying to make sense of a difficult relationship, you’re in the right place.

THANK YOU for having the bravery to share every raw detail of your story. A lot of victims are told, ‘Why didn’t you just leave?’ but no one gets it. 
The way abusers isolate you and break down your worth… Dr. Ruth is giving a voice to a lot of people who don’t think they deserve one.

After watching Dr. Ruth's videos, I finally understand what narcissistic abuse is! You shine a light on the subtle abuse you get so used to.
Your work helps me see what I've normalized.

Dr. Ruth's videos have been like a hug to my soul! Getting out was a gift, but hearing your stories connects me to moments I’ve tried to forget.
I love that you talk about the small moments, because those matter so much.
I feel less alone.
