Close to giving up, we found a copy of the text at our local library and decided to take it home to read. It was so incredibly written and insightful! we shared it w our then psychologist and it helped her also. Together we learned about treatment and we were SO MUCH BETTER able to find the beginning of finally being able to live effectively as a multiple. Thank you, Karen for putting yourself out there, and thank you, Dr. Baer, for writing this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Rachel,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>You&#8217;re welcome! Thank you for sharing! I am glad to hear that my story has helped you along on your journey. In deciding to write the book, Dr. Baer and I felt it necessary to tell the whole truth, which includes all the trauma child abuse can bring into the life of one who has endured such pain. I am happy to hear you are on your way to recovering from multiplicity. I admit, accepting your diagnosis and healing is a difficult road to take, but worth it in the end. To live as one is incredible. I continue to live a life I once thought impossible. I am blessed to have survived. \u00a0I believe you will, too. Please don&#8217;t give up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for sharing my story with your therapist. I am glad to hear she felt it was helpful, too. I will pass along your compliments to Dr. Baer.
