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 parenthood

Parenthood is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming, isolating, and full of unexpected challenges. From sleepless nights to navigating your identity as a caregiver, it’s common to feel unsure and alone. Peer support connects parents in a safe, understanding space to share experiences, frustrations, and small victories. These sessions offer community, normalize the struggles of raising children, and remind you that you’re not in this alone.
