I am sure you were kept alive by a higher power. I am enrolled in a college psychology class and we are reading your story. Since I already finished reading before the others I wanted to share how much I admire you. Through your book I have gained perspective and compassion for the unknown. I hope you continue writing about your life. One thought came to mind is how is your relationship with the doctor? He better be keeping close tabs and be of support. At this point I hated him at first and by the end of the book liked him. I have known more then a few crooked therapists and have a minor concern over his selfish narcissism which is clearly evident in the early chapters of the book. Keep writing Karen. Thank you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear Wendy,<\/p>\n

It’s really nice to hear your kind thoughts regarding my being kept alive by a higher power. I believe you are right! I also believe God chose Dr. Baer to help me through many difficult years. The day my therapy started I felt hopeless after years of unanswered prayers. For me help came at a perfect time in my life. A time in which after contemplating suicide I was ready, willing, and able to start healing from my horrific childhood. I beat the odds and am alive today to share my story because of my faith in God to help me receive the best treatment possible.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad to hear you have gained perspective and compassion for the unknown! That’s an amazing accomplishment! It’s taken me years to achieve that! I have been fortunate to receive the best care by Dr. Baer and friends who, despite my needy ways, stuck with me through many years of chaos and turmoil. My relationship with Dr. Baer continues to be friendly. After all that we have been through together to heal me, how could it not be? I\u2019m grateful to have found an honest therapist who treated me unconditionally. Narcissist? Dr. Baer? Never saw that during all my years in therapy.<\/p>\n

Wishing you all my best! Thank you for sharing and for your confidence in my writing. Yes, I will keep writing! I love to write and am currently working on the sequel to Switching Time!<\/p>\n
