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 faith
Faith can be a deeply personal and evolving experience, shaped by trust, meaning, and the ways we make sense of life’s uncertainties. For some, it’s rooted in religion; for others, it exists independently, expressed through personal beliefs, values, or a sense of connection to something greater. At times, faith can feel grounding and reassuring. At others, it can bring doubt, tension, or questions, especially when beliefs shift or differ from those around you. Peer support offers a space to explore these experiences openly, without pressure or judgment. It allows you to reflect on what faith means to you, share your perspective, and connect with others navigating similar questions in their own way.
How a Peer Specialist helps with faith
A Peer Specialist helps with faith by meeting you 1-on-1 in a private session focused entirely on you. Honest conversation with someone who has worked through something similar can surface perspective, encouragement, and next steps that feel more realistic.
