Dear Karen,

You are a remarkable human being. You are likely the ultimate “survivor.” You were lucky to have met another who was selfless and generous in treating you — a true Doctor, so infrequent in our world. Without your insight (despite being broken up in the beginning), however, this may not have been possible. I read the book and rejoiced at the birth of a new human being, one that can start anew and has the will and heart to open up to others.

All the best to you and thank you for allowing your story to be told.

Dear Dr. Olga,

You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing! You have touched me with your kind thoughts. I agree, Dr. Baer and I made a great team! I believe there is a reason for everything and that our meeting was meant to be. I doubt I would be here now sharing from my heart if it weren’t for the care Dr. Baer provided. I often wondered how it was possible to have found the right therapist to accompany me on my journey to heal myself. I was lucky.

I admit, therapy wasn’t easy in the beginning, but we both worked hard and learned from each other. I am grateful Dr. Baer didn’t give up on me early on. I was a mess. Dr. Baer unconditionally cared for me and in turn we were able to share our journey. I was fortunate to land to good hands, and Dr. Baer was blessed with receiving his most difficult yet inspirational challenge, treating me. I am forever grateful for all that Dr. Baer has done for me.

Thank you!

Karen
