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 new members / new hosts
Starting something new — whether joining a community or stepping into a leadership role — can feel uncertain and even intimidating. New members may wonder how they’ll be received or if they’ll find people who truly understand them. New hosts might worry about guiding conversations or fostering meaningful connections. That’s where peer support becomes a crucial bridge: it offers a space to ask questions, get encouragement, and feel part of something larger from day one. Peer support sessions for new members and new hosts create a shared environment where everyone is growing together. Instead of navigating alone, participants learn from each other’s experiences, exchange tips, and build confidence in a low-pressure setting. This early connection helps ease self-doubt and fosters a sense of belonging — making it more likely that both members and hosts stay engaged and find meaning in their journey.
