Not once, not ever. My therapy was a success due to talk therapy, not drug therapy. \u00a0In my opinion, based on my personal experience, there is no one particular medication that was able to help me with multiplicity. Through trial and error, Dr. Baer quickly realized that although helpful for anxiety, most medications left me lethargic, unable to communicate, and had little helpful effect.<\/p>\n<p>During the beginning years of my therapy, Dr. Baer, thinking I was simply severely depressed, tried different drugs to ease my pain. With my not so compliant alters, I did not take what he prescribed. My inconsistent medication usage could not be monitored correctly. My alters had different reactions to the medications and quickly stopped all. There was a time when I refused to take blood tests so that Dr. Baer wouldn&#8217;t see that the drug he prescribed was not in my system.<\/p>\n<p>I never received electric shock treatments. I highly doubt electric shock treatment would have been a benefit to me or my alters. I believe if Dr. Baer encouraged such treatment, I would&#8217;ve walked away.<\/p>\n<p>You asked about what miracle sustained me? No miracle, just simple compassion, unconditional care, and a therapeutic relationship built on respect and trust. \u00a0In other words, I healed because Dr. Baer and I built rapport and teamwork; Dr. Baer, my alters, and me.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your challenging questions.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Kevin on 25 Oct 2011 at 2:15 am Did Dr. Baer give barbiturate injections in your treatment during hypnosis?
