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 heart disease
Managing heart disease can be physically and emotionally exhausting, often leaving individuals feeling anxious or isolated. The stress of navigating treatments, lifestyle changes, and health scares can take a significant toll. Peer support offers a space to connect with others who understand these challenges on a deeply personal level. Sharing stories, setbacks, and small victories in a supportive environment fosters both hope and resilience. Peer support groups create an avenue to feel seen, receive encouragement, and learn practical coping strategies for heart health from people living similar experiences.
