The Insightful Soul

Hi,

My name is Dara Teller, LCSW and I have had the honor of knowing Allyson for the past 3 years. Allyson has a rare mental health disorder called, DID (multiple personality disorder) and sadly, due to her condition, Allyson is not allowed in any mental health programs but deserves and needs care! She is the kindest, warmest, lovable soul! All her personalities speak of HOPE, FAITH and just want to be happy and feel safe.

Allyson cannot work, cannot drive and has no one to take care of her during the day, while her family works. She doesn’t qualify for disability and sadly, that means Allyson is stuck at home, lonely and feeling depressed everyday with no purpose and everyone needs a purpose. Her purpose can be making someone happy to just share time with her!

The times I share with Allyson are filled with creativity, singing, laughs, dancing and being silly! She is intelligent, funny and a kind soul.

I am raising money for Allyson so that she can afford private care/companion to just spend time with her, be her friend and give her happiness! Maybe drive her to a garden, because she loves nature or take her to a restaurant as most people are able to do.

We often times take for granted the abilities we have in life and how we can just GO where we want and do things, whereas, someone like Allyson is limited and not able to lead a “normal” life.

PLEASE- share this message and donate for a person who is so deserving!

I have a charity that supports anyone who has mental health conditions and needs support!

How do you interpret this? What would you paint?

What humans NEED:

1. Stability - to know that they have a routine or something consistent in their life that provides the necessities AND enough of it (safe home, food, water, clothes, medical)

2. Structure - routine and rituals that provide a person with the feeling of being in the “know” - the unknown is what most fear and causes anxiety and depression

3. Reassurance- even the most confident people need reassurance at times- it’s human nature to want to feel like we are doing the “right” thing- that is why people love compliments, praise, rewards from careers to acknowledge efforts or children love allowance and positive reinforcement

4. Respect/Trust- Everyone wants to feel respected and trust the people they are connected to; otherwise you will feel anxious and constantly in a state of survival

5. Being heard- there is a difference between thinking you’re heard and actually being heard- we all want to know we have someone who listens to what we say. That is why children constantly say, “look, look,” on repeat until you give them attention or adults like you to look them in the eye while speaking and give undivided attention.
