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 religion
Faith can be a source of comfort — but it can also bring internal conflict, especially when beliefs evolve or clash with personal experiences. Struggles around identity, community, or doctrine can leave you feeling isolated even within your own faith tradition. Peer support provides a respectful environment to explore spiritual questions and challenges without judgment. Whether you’re reconnecting with your beliefs or redefining them, sharing your story with others on similar paths can bring clarity, peace, and a sense of belonging.
