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.

Topic context

Understanding no contact

Going no contact—whether with a family member, partner, or friend—can be an emotionally difficult decision. The choice often follows a long period of emotional pain, boundary violations, or abuse. While it may bring necessary relief, it can also trigger feelings of guilt, grief, and isolation. Peer support offers a validating space to share the complexities of going no contact with others who understand. Hearing similar experiences can help reduce shame, offer clarity, and reinforce the importance of self-preservation. These sessions provide strength and solidarity during a challenging transition.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with no contact

A Peer Specialist helps with no contact because maintaining boundaries can feel lonely, especially when others do not understand the history behind them. A 1-on-1 session offers validation, steadiness, and support through the grief and doubt that often follow.
