I believe my therapy worked because Dr. Baer never showed signs of distress, never became overly excited, and accepted angry outbursts\u00a0with a calm demeanor that diffused any aggressive behavior. By Dr. Baer staying the same, me and my alters learned how to make the most of our session time. My alters decided to keep therapy a part of our daily routine. During sessions I believe my alter Holdon helped to keep all the alters sitting in the chair without\u00a0acting out. That was an important accomplishment for a fractured group of disturbed alters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dr. Baer treated the alters with respect and never mocked\u00a0or disbelieved them. Dr. Baer befriended each alter, was always on time, and was very attentive to the needs of all seventeen alters. He never overstepped our boundaries and never\u00a0abused us with his authority.\u00a0\u00a0I healed because my therapy was kept simple, consistent, and allowed me to mature at my own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Natalie on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:01 am As a patient what did you believe worked for you in therapy?
