I want to give a more-than-big THANK YOU for allowing Dr. Baer to write such a emotional documentary about your life. This book brought me both tears and smiles. You are a strong woman, Karen, and Dr. Baer did a fantastic job in regards to your therapeutic relationship. As an 18 year old college student, this book has been one of my all-time favorite reads, which has taught me far more than a text book could. I appreciate both of you! Also, do either of you make speeches or appearances that people can attend? I would love to attend (preferably in Ohio, LOL).

Again, thanks.

Dear Taylor,

You’re very welcome! Dr. Baer and I worked very hard together to share my journey to wellness. I believe sharing our therapeutic relationship is  valuable. It’s our hope to continue to bring knowledge about the life and therapy of a multiple. Relationships take teamwork; we worked hard to maintain respect, integrity, and trust. Dr. Baer couldn’t have treated me without my alters’ help, and I couldn’t have healed without Dr. Baer’s and my alters’ help. There was never a quick fix to my healing. Multiplicity is an incomprehensible illness.  I am grateful for all that Dr. Baer has done to encourage my healing. I believe Dr. Baer was God-sent. I believe my alters were, too.

We truly appreciate all your kind thoughts and compliments. Dr. Baer and I are available to speak should we receive an invitation.

Thank you for respecting our work and appreciating our story. That means a lot to us.

Karen
