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 gender identity
Exploring or affirming your gender identity can be a deeply personal and, at times, isolating journey. Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or simply seeking a space where you can be fully yourself, it’s important to feel seen and accepted. Peer support creates a powerful space where gender-diverse individuals can share their experiences without judgment. It fosters belonging, promotes self-acceptance, and reminds you that you’re not alone — you’re part of a larger community that understands and affirms your identity.
