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 alcoholism
Alcoholism affects people from all walks of life, and breaking free from it can be one of the hardest journeys a person undertakes. Feelings of shame, fear of judgment, and isolation are common among those struggling with or recovering from alcohol use disorder. Peer support groups offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can share openly, build accountability, and find strength in others who’ve walked the same path. These connections can reinforce recovery goals and help individuals feel less alone as they work toward sobriety.
