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.

Topic context

Understanding dyslexia

Dyslexia can affect self-esteem and academic or professional confidence, especially in systems not designed with neurodiversity in mind. People with dyslexia often internalize shame despite their creativity and intelligence. Peer support provides encouragement and belonging. By hearing others’ experiences, sharing strategies, and reclaiming confidence, individuals with dyslexia feel seen and empowered to thrive as their authentic selves.
