The Trauma Therapist Trauma Therapist Project

Holly and Dylan Crumpler are a mother-son team of enthusiastic advocates working to reduce the stigma associated with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Given that D.I.D. has historically been depicted in a very inaccurate, sensationalized, and negative way in film and television, Dylan envisioned and created his senior thesis film, Petals of a Rose, at Chapman University to realistically depict a day in the life of a woman with D.I.D. He co-wrote the screenplay with his mother, Holly, who was diagnosed with D.I.D. in 2018 at the age of 51.

Petals of a Rose has received international acclaim, and Dylan and Holly have gone on to share the film at numerous mental health conferences and educational events. The film is being used by clinicians in training sessions, college courses, and therapeutic settings. Given the incredibly positive reception the film has received, Dylan and Holly have begun development of a longer film/series expanding on Rose’s story.

Pernille is the founder of Mind Blossom which strives to prevent and combat mental illness through education and fostering community support. Mind Blossom envisions a world where mental health education is integrated into all community centers, schools, and companies with the aim to prevent and reduce mental illness. Mind Blossom integrates humanity with science by using mental health education, an evidence-based method, to empower people’s understanding of their own and others’ physical and mental wellbeing.

As a blue collar daughter, Pernille defeated the odds by being a first-generation college and PhD graduate. She moved across the world to pursue neuroscience at the best research universities in the world, and left little undone in her pursuit of knowledge. Because of her determination, she can now call herself an award-winning scientist.
Through this scientific journey she could also, finally, start her own trauma healing process. As she mastered the skills of a researcher, she realized that communication and self-insight were cornerstones of not only her professional success but also her personal wellbeing. Pernille realized that her drive for research was rooted in people’s mental health. She now focuses her energy on helping people thrive.
