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 childhood trauma
Early trauma can shape how we view ourselves and the world around us. Experiences from childhood often resurface in adulthood as anxiety, relationship struggles, or feelings of unworthiness. Peer support offers a path to confront and reframe these narratives. Connecting with others who carry similar wounds allows participants to feel seen and validated. These sessions promote healing by emphasizing shared strength, empathy, and the possibility of growth beyond the pain of the past.
