Hi Karen,<\/p>\n

I have started to read your book but stopped. Why share such devastation? Did Richard Baer inform you early that his intention was to write a book about you? I am not a therapist but I felt horrible reading about the way he treated you. Your doctor didn\u2019t even like you. I am one third through reading the book and want to know whether it\u2019s worth my time to continue until the end. If I hear from you I will know you are real and not a figment of Richard Baer\u2019s imagination and ego.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear Roxie,<\/p>\n

I’m sorry to hear that you were overwhelmed and distraught with the reading of my story. \u00a0Please know that I am not a figment of Dr. Baer’s imagination or his ego. I am real. I’ve shared my devastating past with all in hope to help others who have suffered as I once did. I admit, sharing my story was difficult to do. I had to reveal the horror of my past abuse alongside the amazing therapeutic relationship I shared with Dr. Baer, who helped me live my life as one.<\/p>\n

In reading my story you may believe Dr. Baer didn’t like me and was arrogant and stand-offish. In reading the first part of the book you may find Dr. Baer misunderstood me, and that was true. \u00a0That was meant to show the truth about the therapy.<\/p>\n

Believe me, if Dr. Baer would have appeared too emotional, I wouldn’t have shared anything. As a multiple, I read people well. If I thought Dr. Baer couldn’t deal with me, I would’ve left his office and never returned. Dr. Baer did his job well and kept his emotions in check. Please know that Dr. Baer and I worked very hard together to make me whole. Just like all relationships there was give and take. Dr. Baer has always treated me with unconditional care and the utmost respect. \u00a0It really was teamwork at it’s best. Dr. Baer is my mentor, confidant, and trusted friend.<\/p>\n

I wish you will re-consider reading the rest of my story. Stopping where you did will leave you feeling unsettled. \u00a0The true miracle comes in each page as the story enfolds towards the end. \u00a0I promise you, that when you finally read the last page, it will all make sense and you will be left knowing the true miracle of my work with Dr. Baer. \u00a0The first part of the book is the hardest to take in. \u00a0Take a break and continue reading.<\/p>\n

Please, if you choose to finish reading my story, write back and share your thoughts.<\/p>\n

Have a great day!<\/p>\n
