Comment by Robert F on 06 Jun 2009 at 8:00 pmGraduated last night! Whoo Whoo! I can’t touch the ground yet. I read your book a couple of weeks ago and wanted to let you guys know it will be a great teachers guide for the Psych Department of most colleges. Wow, wow, wow, wow! Are you really alive? Thank you for encouraging therapy in a not so friendly envirnoment. Did you know that psycholgy is losing ground cause insurance companies don’t believe in it’s necessity? More doctors should be like Richard Baer M.D. I know that money is an issue. You were lucky to have medical insurance and didn’t need to pay the balance. Well, at least Richard Baer received something. God, your book was educational.Robert F
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your review! It is our hope that many colleges will use Switching Time as a teaching tool for their psychology department studies. It’s true that many medical insurance policies don’t adequately cover the necessary sessions to treat those who suffer from mental illness.
You are right, I was fortunate that Dr. Baer treated me on what the insurance companies paid him, which was never enough, and eventually stopped billing me for the balance. I couldn’t afford to pay for all the treatment I needed to heal on my own. I would’ve been forced to end therapy. And if I were forced out of the medical system for being unable to pay I most certainly would have ended my life.
Thank you for believing our story is inspirational and educational. I believe my healing was meant to be and that Dr. Baer and I were meant to share our journey together. What we accomplished can’t be measured monetarily. My healing was priceless.
Congratulations on your graduation!
Karen
