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 toxic relationships
Being in a toxic relationship can erode self-esteem, boundaries, and emotional well-being. Whether the relationship is romantic, familial, or platonic, it can be hard to recognize or walk away from a harmful dynamic without support. Peer support allows individuals to reflect on these experiences, recognize unhealthy patterns, and begin to rebuild self-trust. Listening to others who’ve been through similar situations can offer clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of empowerment.
