Grounded support for real life and recovery.

Broad lived experience & passionate about helping. CPSS.

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.

Topic context

Understanding anxious attachment

Attachment issues, often rooted in early relationships, can impact how we connect with others in adulthood. Whether it manifests as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, or challenges in intimacy, the experience can be confusing and painful. Peer support helps individuals unpack these patterns in a compassionate space, often with others who relate. Sharing stories and hearing others’ breakthroughs promotes healing and helps participants develop healthier, more secure relationships moving forward.

Anxious attachment is a pattern where a person tends to worry about closeness, seek frequent reassurance, and feel distressed by distance or inconsistency in relationships. It often develops from early experiences with caregivers.
