Hi Karen. I am reading the story now, (haven’t finished it yet so don’t spoil it-  & I just want to say I am deeply moved by your story. I am a recent graduate who graduated in psychology & I have always known that I have wanted to work with individuals that have gone through trials & tribulations & your story makes me want that even more. I am sure you are such an inspiration & I wish you the best of luck with everything. God bless!

Dear Ruby,

How nice of you to share your thoughts before finishing my story! I’m touched and hope that you share more thoughts when you’re finished. I admire your decision to work in the field of psychology.  Good therapists are most certainly needed!  I was fortunate to find the right therapist for me.  Dr. Baer is the best! I can’t imagine where I would be today without his care. I’m blessed.

Please know that working with patients like me can be both exhausting and inspiring. I know for sure Dr. Baer had a hard time, and at times was overwhelmed. But I thank God everyday that he never gave up on me. It was the best relationship I ever had and surely set me on the right path to move forward in my life. I’m glad you shared your thoughts and can tell your heart will be in your work, which in turn means you will have a rewarding career.

Thank you for your best wishes and blessings! I truly appreciate hearing them.

Karen
