Hi Karen, 
I want to tell you how brave, strong, and remarkable you are, but I am sure you know that now. I have listened to the book a couple of times and am always amazed. The human mind must be an incredible thing, and yours must be especially gifted to have found your way through that darkness, pain, and then the long healing journey. I am so impressed with you. Dr. Baer must be especially wise to facilitate your healing. You are an inspiration.

Dear Karen,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt compliments! It really touches me to hear them. Yes, I agree, the mind is amazing! I’ve been grateful that my mind created a coping mechanism that kept me in survivor mode until I was able to deal with all that happened to me. I am becoming increasingly fascinated by how one’s thoughts and experiences are kept in memory. It is my hope that the medical world will continue to search for knowledge and awareness on complex psychological illnesses such as the one I survived: multiplicity.

With Dr. Baer’s wisdom, together we were able to find a way to heal me from a lifetime of chaos. I am grateful for all the time Dr. Baer spent helping me heal so that I could live my life in a way I never dreamed possible.

Thank you for believing our story to be an inspiration. That means the world to me.

Karen
