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 racial identity
Navigating racial identity can be deeply personal, especially in a world where systemic bias and underrepresentation persist. Many individuals feel pressure to conform or code-switch, leading to feelings of disconnection or invisibility. Peer support allows for honest conversations about racial identity in a space where experiences are validated and celebrated. It fosters solidarity, encourages cultural pride, and provides a community where people can explore identity without fear. These connections help individuals reclaim their voice and feel empowered in their identity.
How peer support helps with racial identity
