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 gaslighting

Gaslighting can make you question your reality, leaving you feeling confused, powerless, and isolated. When you’ve experienced emotional manipulation, it’s hard to trust your own feelings or judgments — especially when the abuser makes you feel like you’re the problem. Peer support offers validation and clarity. By connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences, you begin to rebuild trust in yourself. These sessions provide a safe place to be heard, believed, and supported — a vital step in reclaiming your confidence and sense of reality.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with gaslighting

A Peer Specialist helps with gaslighting because manipulation often works by isolating you from your own sense of truth. A 1-on-1 session can help you feel validated, name what happened more clearly, and begin rebuilding trust in yourself.
