#677 Dissociative Identity Disorder - Holly Crumpler

Holly Crumpler joins Paul to talk about living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Holly shares her journey to being diagnosed with DID, how she and her family manage it, and her frustration with how it’s been represented in TV and film. Holly and Paul are also joined by Holly’s son, Dylan, who offers perspective on what it’s like to grow up as a child of DID and how his mother’s diagnosis helped him make sense of things. For an accurate representation of this disorder, check out Holly & Dylan’s short film, Petals of a Rose. More about Holly/Dylan Following is the link where you can watch the 15 minute film and learn more about its impact: [https://www.dylancrumpler.com/petals-of-a-rose] (https://www.dylancrumpler.com/petals-of-a-rose) Please consider rating and reviewing Petals of a Rose on IMDb: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19715926] (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19715926) Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/PetalsofaRoseTheMovie] (https://www.facebook.com/PetalsofaRoseTheMovie) Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/petalsofarose_themovie/] (https://www.instagram.com/petalsofarose_themovie/) A note from Holly about our conversation I am not a therapist and I am only sharing my personal experience of living with DID. Additionally, it is important to note that each person who has DID experiences it in a personal, unique way, and I am only sharing my own lived experience. Further, it might be helpful to share that even though you have not featured many people on your show with DID, it is not a rare condition. In fact, research shows that at least 1.5% of people live with DID and a greater percentage live with other dissociative disorders. In comparison, following are the frequency of mental health conditions (in descending order) for people in the US per the DSM-V: Dissociative Identity Disorder:1.5% Bulimia:1.0 – 1.5% OCD:1.2% Bipolar II:.4 - 1.0% Schizophrenia:.3 - .7% Bipolar I:.6% Anorexia:.4% WAYS TO HELP THE MIHH PODCAST Subscribe viaiTunes and leave a review.It costs nothing.

Why I No Longer Endorse BetterHelp

Paul reads allegations by the Federal Trade Commission about the business practices of BetterHelp and how they allegedly misused customer's private information. Based on these allegations (BetterHelp denies any wrongdoing and settled with the FTC for $7.8 million), Paul explains his decision to end his endorsement deal with them. Due to the financial cost to edit out past ads for BetterHelp (from over 380 episodes) this mini-episode is to inform listeners that even though all those ad reads still exist in past episodes he has walked away from his relationship with them.To read the FTC complaint visit their website.

#667 Regulating Intense Emotions - Elyse Cizek

Elyse Cizek is a writer and a musician who opens up about her journey of self-reflection and change, what it’s been like living with BPD, and how she manages relationships in her life given her diagnosis. She also shares a number of incredible self-soothing tactics that have helped her along the way. More About Elyse: [https://zora.medium.com/dear-white-friends-335d6088077] (https://zora.medium.com/dear-white-friends-335d6088077) [https://elysecizek.medium.com/cancel-culture-isnt-real-4d2b62b47a9d] (https://elysecizek.medium.com/cancel-culture-isnt-real-4d2b62b47a9d) [https://tr.ee/FaBAW-U5lP] (https://tr.ee/FaBAW-U5lP) [https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mental-illness-happy-hour/id427377900?mt=2] (https://linktr.ee/elysecizek?utm_source=linktree_profile_sharehttps://linktr.ee/elysecizek?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ff2aafcf-ed3c-4dcc-96b0-b0f6624d436d</a> Elyse’s Tips To Self-Soothe 1. Recognize that I am dysregulated. Stepping outside and observing how I’m feeling helps me to separate the feelings/fear from reality and allow myself to feel them, but without the urgency to act. 2. Talk to myself. Out loud. “Hey, I’m here. You’re ok. You’re safe.” Saying things like this, wrapping my arms around myself, kissing my shoulders, rubbing my cheeks…I can be angry, sad, overwhelmed, but I get to do it in the safe embrace of myself. 3. Ask myself what I need. Again. Out loud. Do I need a glass of water? To go outside? Something to eat? The process of cooking or preparing food, filling a glass of water, etc, is excellent in these times. I cry while I do it. I scream. I lay on the floor if I need to, then get back up. 4. Do something with my hands. Wash a dish, write something down, sweep my floors, take my dog outside, again-preparing food. All of it helps keep my brain preoccupied. 5. Call someone. Anyone. Talk to a human being. About anything. If I’m not at home: All of these work but if I’m in public (like a gym or a movie theater) and a panic attack comes on, I go outside. The self-soothing of embracing myself and talking to myself is still a major first step. Who cares who’s watching?! Besides that, I will run around the block or call a friend.
