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 inclusion
Feeling excluded can deeply affect a person’s sense of identity and belonging. Whether due to race, ability, gender, sexuality, or other factors, being left out or overlooked can create long-lasting emotional wounds. Peer support offers a space to be heard and valued for exactly who you are. Sessions focused on inclusion give people the opportunity to share experiences of exclusion, celebrate diversity, and foster empathy. These conversations help cultivate self-worth and a stronger sense of community, reinforcing that everyone deserves to belong.
