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 self-care

Self-care is not a luxury — it’s a necessity, especially when navigating stress, mental health challenges, or emotional exhaustion. Yet, many people struggle to prioritize themselves or feel guilty for taking time to recharge. Peer support sessions offer a space to discuss these challenges openly, without judgment. By sharing personal strategies and hearing how others practice self-care, participants can gain inspiration and validation. Peer connection reinforces the idea that self-care is not selfish — it’s essential. Together, individuals can build routines that support their well-being and foster long-term resilience.
