The Last Person You're Gentle With
Your Guide
Dr. Femke Bakker is a Selfgentleness guide, meditation teacher, political psychologist and former actor. For decades she was the strong one, tired and hard on herself, until she found a gentler way she now calls selfgentleness.
Journey Description
If you say yes when you are already running on empty, hear a critical voice the moment something goes well, and lose your footing when someone is disappointed in you, this short journey is for you. Across four gentle audios of a few minutes each, you meet three patterns that quietly keep you coming last in your own life, and you sit with each one kindly instead of trying to fix it. There is nothing to achieve here and nothing to get right. By the end you will have a name for a gentler way of being with yourself, and a small, clear sense of where to begin.
Journey Tracks
When You Said Yes Again
The moment you agree to one more thing while already running on empty. A few minutes to notice the tiredness you talked yourself past, and to ask, gently, what you actually needed before you answered.
Never Quite Good Enough
For the voice that goes straight to the one flaw the second something goes well. A short, kind pause to let one thing you did be simply enough, and to see that nothing falls apart when you do.
When Someone's Disappointed in You
About the way your whole footing can go when another person is unhappy with you. A gentle practice for staying with yourself, and having your own back, even when you cannot win their approval.
