Dear Prisca,

Thank you so much for sharing that you look forward to reading my blog. That means a lot to me! And yes, of course you can ask me questions.

I was in trouble when I first met Dr. Baer. I was depressed and didn’t want to live. I felt hopeless and didn’t care what would happen to me. I was a mess. I didn’t know that Dr. Baer was able to help me. I didn’t even like him very much at first. Actually, I hated all men, but had no energy to seek help elsewhere. I had lost the will to live. I knew I needed help and Dr. Baer was willing to help me.

I believe I must’ve had faith. I needed to start somewhere and try my best to not give up. Dr. Baer was kind to me, he didn’t scream at me, he didn’t say much at all, but he did listen. And I needed someone, anyone to listen. For the first time in my life, someone actually listened to me. I never experienced that before. As time passed, I developed the ability to feel, because he understood what I told him. I became fond of him and felt safe. Once I felt safe, I learned to trust.

My alters accepted Dr. Baer. There was never a moment when I felt the need to seek help elsewhere. Dr. Baer and I worked together well. It wasn’t easy at first, but we grew to respect each other.

Once one finds the right therapist, the work and healing begins. Changing therapists during the intense years of my therapeutic relationship would have been devastating to my alters and me. I am grateful to Dr. Baer and believe our work together was meant to be. Dr. Baer was God sent.

Thank you.

Karen
