Hi Karen,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
I read you answer about hypnosis. what an interesting way to word it. Thank you. I understand. I always thought hypnosis was cruel and you were talked into it by Dr. Baer. I wish you the best. I am hopeful for people who have walked your walk. If you continue to share many will become stronger off your strength. I did. Please never end your life. Please write another book with Dr. Baer. Love that you remain true to yourself. Love that you care.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Willow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
I am glad to hear my previous answer about hypnosis was helpful. I hoped my answer would provide knowledge. Before hypnosis therapy I would have said it was something made up, false, and brought on by drugs. \u00a0But no, it was nothing like that at all. I believe my multiplicity was some form of hypnosis in itself. I never thought hypnosis to be cruel, but I did once believe it was a way one person could manipulate another. I was cautious before and during hypnotherapy. Dr. Baer took every precaution to make sure my alters and I were safe and comfortable. It would have been impossible for Dr. Baer to hypnotize me if I felt threatened. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
It’s amazing to learn how one’s brain works. <\/span>I continue to learn something new about myself each day. The alters I created to help me survive were incredible. I was blessed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
It is my hope to share more of my story some day in a sequel to Switching Time<\/em>. \u00a0I pray never to be visited by my past thoughts of suicide, but although they may visit now and then, they don\u2019t stay long. I will always try my best to continue living my life the best I can. Thank you for encouraging me to move forward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
