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 trust issues
When trust has been broken—through betrayal, trauma, or neglect—it can be hard to feel safe in future relationships. Trust issues can affect personal and professional life, leading to fear, withdrawal, or over-vigilance. Peer support helps participants explore these struggles in a space where honesty and vulnerability are welcomed. Hearing how others rebuild trust can offer hope, perspective, and new tools to gradually open up again.
How a Peer Specialist helps with trust issues
A Peer Specialist helps with trust issues because betrayal, inconsistency, and past hurt can shape how you relate long after the original pain. A 1-on-1 session can help you feel less alone, more understood, and more able to rebuild safety at your own pace.
