Gentle people are well liked. We are good listeners and have a soothing nature. But some of us struggle with feeling sad or anxious, have trouble making decisions, cant commit, or want to connect to others in a more meaningful way. The Gentle Self explains how we came to be the "good boy" or "sweet girl" in our families, and how we can learn to pay better attention to our own needs. And you will learn how to live a life full of freedom and connection. The author is a psychotherapist and writer who perceives herself as a "gentle self.""
