Your answers make so much sense! You are such a great asset to the viewers of USoT. \u00a0I swear I learned more of the illness through you. I know, I know, you constantly state you are not a therapist and post only from your own personal experiences but hell! That\u02bcs what us people need! A real true life healed multiple. Why aren\u02bct you writing for the show? Tell your agent to hook you up! If I had Steven&#8217;s number I\u02bcd call him. \u00a0What does Richard Baer think of this shit?<\/p>\n<p>Barth<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Barth,<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not a therapist, but thank you for your compliment on my answers making sense. \u00a0I truly appreciate all of your compliments, especially regarding learning more about multiplicity through my answers. \u00a0I feel I must say in each answer that asks for advice that I am not a professional therapist. \u00a0This is because I don&#8217;t wish to mislead anyone into believing I am. I was fortunate to find a qualified psychiatrist, Dr. Baer, and believe his professional expertise was the reason I healed so well. \u00a0I surely wouldn&#8217;t be here answering all these questions if it weren&#8217;t for the great help I received. \u00a0It is important for me to share my experiences in hope I can help others through their own individual journey.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for the show USoT? \u00a0That put a smile on my face! \u00a0It&#8217;s sweet of you to think I could add to the show&#8217;s story line, but the USoT isn&#8217;t about me or the book <em>Switching Time<\/em>. Dr. Baer and I would love to share our story in some way, maybe in a future movie or documentary. \u00a0The USoT is not an accurate depiction of what I have experienced. Toni Colette is simply an actress portraying a multiple mom, Tara.<\/p>\n<p>I believe Dr. Baer agrees with me on the way the USoT portrays multiple personality disorder. \u00a0We have been amazed at how many viewers have come to our Web site after watching the show. Maybe, after viewing a show that may not appear very realistic, they are interested in finding out more about the truth of the illness.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again for caring.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Barth on February 16, 2009 4:17 am Hey, Karen!
