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 loss
Experiencing loss, whether sudden or expected, can turn our world upside down. It can bring up grief, confusion, and a range of complex emotions that are difficult to process alone. Each person’s grief journey is different, but the pain of loss is a universal experience that deserves support and understanding. Peer support provides a compassionate space where individuals can share their experiences of loss without judgment. By connecting with others who have also faced loss, participants can feel validated in their emotions, gain perspective, and begin to heal in community. These sessions remind us that we don’t have to grieve alone.
How peer support helps with loss
Peer support helps with loss because grief is not limited to one kind of event. A group can help people name what has changed, feel less alone in the impact, and make room for emotions that may not feel welcome elsewhere.
