Thank you for all the time and effort you put into every answer on your blog. You mention often Dr. Baer was God-sent. Maybe so, but you my dear are God-sent. It\u2019s you who have done all the work, not exactly Dr. Baer who you allowed to accompany you. You are the bravest woman I ever read about. Dr. Baer was lucky you chose him to share your story. I know you admire him, and you should but please remember he would never be where he is if it weren\u2019t for you. It takes two in a relationship to make things work. God didn\u2019t just put him in your life. God put you in his life. He needed you more than you needed him. God knows best! Good luck to you and Dr. Baer for a wonderful future. I am in favor of our good Lord\u2019s work. The both of you are blessed to know each other. A once in a lifetime miracle for the both of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Sister Darlene,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for your thoughts on my journey to healing with Dr. Baer’s help. I’m not sure how to explain my therapeutic relationship with Dr. Baer. What I do know for sure is that I needed guidance. It’s true, my alters were created to help me survive, but their help turned into chaos as I grew into an adult. The alters\u2019 help was no longer needed in the same way as when I was young and caused interference in my daily life. I could not function. I felt suicidal all the time. I hated not knowing why I lost time. I hated having severe disabling headaches and nightmares. I hated carrying so much unexplainable pain every day. I needed help from the outside of me. <\/span><\/p>\n
I believe there is a reason for everything, and meeting Dr. Baer at the time I did was meant to be. But fate doesn’t allow for such intense relationships to succeed without hard work on both sides. I could not heal on my own and felt stuck. Dr. Baer couldn’t treat me if I weren’t willing to help him and participate in my healing. My story isn’t just a book, it’s about encouraging hope through sharing my story.<\/span><\/p>\n
I know Dr. Baer and I are blessed. \u00a0And, yes, we both were lucky to work together. Thank you for believing and for your well wishes and blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n
