Are you aware of the Oprah show broadcasting a lady with 20 personalities on her show today? Why isn\u2019t it you on her show? What the f**k is wrong with Oprah? She\u2019s making a BIG MISTAKE!!!!! Love you, Miss Karen. There is no one better than you and the doc to share about this illness. No one else. Blessing to you and Richard Baer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Carla,<\/span><\/p>\n
Yes, Carla, I am aware and I watched it! I thought it was a very good show of a woman with twenty active alters. I admit, I was a bit concerned that Kim Noble chose to have her daughter guest with her and I can’t understand why Kim’s therapist allowed such exposure. It saddens me that Kim and her therapist never shared the possibility of integration. Kim has received a lot of publicity by showing off her alters, and for TV, it’s more interesting to see someone with active alters than someone who is integrated. <\/span><\/p>\n
My empathy is with Kim’s daughter. I could not have exposed my child that way on live television at age thirteen. \u00a0At eighteen, maybe. In my opinion, for I am not a therapist, a thirteen year-old is at an age where this could cause emotional damage. But I wish them well and a continued safe journey towards healing. <\/span><\/p>\n
Although I talked with the producers at Oprah’s show several times, I believe I was not chosen for this episode because I\u2019m healed and cannot demonstrate my ex-alters on the show. I’m not angry or upset. It was a good show and served its purpose. I thoroughly enjoyed Erin Merryn’s story and her accomplishment in having “Erin’s Law” passed. And I also loved hearing from Trudie Chase’s daughter, Kara. <\/span><\/p>\n
I only wish I was asked to be in the audience and meet the guests on that show. That would’ve been nice and thoughtful of the staff to invite me after their many calls and my sharing my story with them. I believe my time will come some day. I have faith. As soon as a show is needed on healing from the illness, MPD\/DID, that will be the show for Dr. Baer and me.<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for supporting my story, for your blessings and well wishes.<\/span><\/p>\n
