Izzy
As a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.
Understanding addiction
Addiction can isolate you, creating feelings of guilt, shame, or helplessness. Whether you’re in recovery or just beginning to recognize addictive behaviors, it’s important to know that support is available — and it doesn’t have to come from professionals alone. Peer support allows individuals to come together in solidarity, share their experiences without judgment, and provide mutual encouragement. It’s a space where relapse is understood, progress is celebrated, and healing is nurtured through shared stories and accountability. Peer groups can be an essential pillar in the recovery journey.
