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 recovery
The journey of recovery — whether from addiction, trauma, or mental health challenges — is rarely linear. It often includes setbacks, self-doubt, and isolation. Being surrounded by others who are also working toward healing can make all the difference. Peer support groups offer empathy, encouragement, and accountability from people who understand the road firsthand. These connections help break the cycle of shame, reduce loneliness, and reinforce the belief that recovery is not only possible — it’s sustainable with support.
