I read your book and spent many hours trying to find how to ask you a question. Isn\u2019t there an easier way. It\u2019s so hard to get to you. I tried the website and came up with thousands of lines of information that didn\u2019t lead me to ask you a question. If it weren\u2019t for my BBF I would\u2019ve said forget it. I almost forgot the question, actually I did. Oh yeah, What makes you so sure you will not dissociate again? What would forewarn you? I can\u2019t buy that integration was complete. It just doesn\u2019t compute? Oh, the book was a definite page turner. I barely put it down long enough to relieve myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Love,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Nell<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Nell,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I can understand your frustration trying to figure out how to ask me a question through our website.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Dr. Baer and I are currently working on resolving this problem by updating our website so that it will be easily accessible.
