Dr. Femke E. Bakker is a meditation teacher and a political psychologist at Leiden University, where she studies leadership, beliefs, and meditation. She is the creator of the Selfgentleness Perspective, a gentler approach to the way you treat yourself, built on the idea that self-kindness is something you experience rather than something you decide. She has also worked as an actor and a screenwriter. She teaches the way she does because being told to be kinder to yourself has never once been enough to make it happen.
