Karen! Have you seen the new book out on Sybil? You are the Sybil of this century, and this author will try to destroy the psychiatry world. I admire you and love you for sharing your story. God knew best when He created you! Make a difference, Karen! Do something to help all those who suffer. We are counting on your story to prove idiot writers like Debbie Nathan wrong. I think your story is the best story about MPD. God bless you. Thank you for remaining you. Thank you, Richard Baer, for standing by Karen’s side in good and bad times. You are my hero!

Dear Loretta,

Yes, I have read the new book Sybil Exposed. I never thought of myself as the “Sybil of this century”, but I guess now that you mentioned it, I can understand why you would think so. As I read this book by Debbie Nathan, I couldn’t understand why she felt it necessary to re-open and write about three women, all deceased, and a therapy of multiple personality disorder forty years old? Didn’t make sense to me, but I admit it was well written and it appeared she did her research.  Personally, I can’t imagine it all being true. The facts don’t add up for me. I can’t comprehend why a respectful psychiatrist such as Dr. Wilbur would treat Sybil unethically. I highly doubt Dr. Wilbur would break her oath and falsify her treatment procedures.

I believe my story and work with Dr. Baer stands strong. We have nothing to hide and have eighteen years of documentation. No drugs were ever used on me during hypnosis and Dr. Baer treated me with utmost respect.

Thank you so much for your confidence in Dr. Baer and me. It’s my desire to encourage hope through sharing my story. I believe there will be a day when my story will be the one that proves multiplicity exists and can be cured. I’m not concerned about proving author Debbie Nathan wrong. Why? Because she’s not a psychiatrist, she’s a journalist, a very good one.

I appreciate your thoughts on my story being the best story about MPD. All I can say is that my story is true and I am living proof of that. I am now my best self. I am a survivor. And Dr. Baer turned out to be the best psychiatrist. I am grateful and blessed. I will share your note with Dr. Baer.

Thank you, again, for caring.

Karen
