Izzy
Available todayAs 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 fatherhood
Fatherhood can be one of the most meaningful and demanding roles a person takes on, often reshaping identity, priorities, and relationships. Whether you’re a new dad, navigating co-parenting, or raising children through different stages of life, the experience can bring both deep fulfillment and real pressure. Many fathers carry expectations to provide, stay strong, or have the answers, which can make it harder to share challenges openly. Moments of uncertainty, stress, or even disconnection are common, yet often go unspoken. Peer support creates space to talk honestly about the realities of fatherhood, without judgment or the need to have it all figured out. It offers connection with others who understand, helping you navigate the role in a way that feels more grounded and sustainable.
