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 loss of a loved one
Losing a loved one can feel like losing a part of yourself. The grief can be overwhelming and isolating, especially when others around you have moved on or don’t fully understand the depth of your pain. It’s a journey that requires time, compassion, and a safe space to process. Peer support sessions give people the chance to connect with others who have experienced similar losses. These conversations help participants feel understood and less alone in their grief. Sharing memories, struggles, and even moments of hope can provide emotional relief and remind individuals that healing is possible, one step at a time.
