Why did you bring this illness into the light? are you stupid? you got any idea how this book will destroy old bonding between doctors and patients? I will state no doctor should read Switching Time. I chose to have this disease when it was pretty rare and to different to find anything on. I claim DID after a life of absolutely notta single day of abuse. I tell my counselor I was hurt. My counselor soothes and hugs me and I get the attention I need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Wallah. Presto.

If I ruined your life because I shared my story in Switching Time, then it was well worth it!<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Why would you want to deceive your counselor who is trying to help you?<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Don&#8217;t you have a conscience?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Do you have any idea what it&#8217;s really like to have suffered from childhood abuse or trauma?<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Do you have any idea what it&#8217;s like to lose time?<span>\u00a0 <\/span>In my opinion, you should start from the beginning with a qualified therapist and figure out why you are faking an illness just to be soothed and hugged.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>This is not only attention seeking, it&#8217;s disrespectful and manipulative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dr. Baer and I brought our story to light in order to help doctors and their patients come to a better understanding of this illness. I highly doubt Switching Time will destroy any therapeutic relationships between a doctor and a patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I&#8217;m glad to know your counselor has read Switching Time.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>I hope your counselor reads this blog and figures out this is you.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Now that your counselor realizes you&#8217;ve been misleading him all along, it&#8217;s time to fess up and be honest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I wish for you to be well, stop faking, come clean, and ask for forgivness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by GTG on November 8, 2008 3:35 pm You ruined my life.
