About this Event

Trauma can be experienced in a myriad of ways; it is not limited to war, a pandemic, religious persecution, or scarcity. It can manifest as a result of profound migratory narratives, systemic oppression, and relentless cultural shaming. This conversation will identify and underscore how trauma is encountered, internalized, and perpetuated within BIPOC communities. Additionally, the author will introduce the Inclusion and Healing Therapy framework designed specifically for BIPOC clients to process, unlearn, and break intergenerational trauma cycles within home, academic, community, and host culture spaces.

Pavna K. Sodhi, EdD (she/her), is a registered psychotherapist, author, and adjunct professor residing in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Sodhi’s research spans over 25 years with specialization in immigrant and BIPOC mental health, multicultural counselling, and trauma-informed care. She credits her Punjabi-Sikh upbringing and lived experience for her continued interest in these timely topics. As a productive ally, she takes pride in decentring systemic racism, breaking barriers, and encouraging others to be culturally responsive.

Les traumatismes ne sont pas uniquement causés par les guerres, les pandémies, la persécution religieuse ou les famines; ils naissent d’une multitude de façons. Ils peuvent se manifester à la suite de récits de migration marquants, d’oppression systémique et de stigmatisation culturelle incessante. Cette conversation vise à mettre en lumière la manifestation, l’internalisation et la perpétuation des traumatismes au sein des communautés autochtones, noires et de couleur. De plus, l’autrice présentera son cadre thérapeutique axé sur l’inclusion et la guérison. Conçu spécialement pour les clientèles autochtones, noires et de couleur, ce cadre vise à les aider à comprendre, à désapprendre et à rompre les cycles des traumatismes intergénérationnels vécus dans divers espaces, à savoir la maison, l’établissement scolaire, la communauté et la culture d’accueil.


Pavna K. Sodhi, D.Éd. (elle), est psychothérapeute autorisée, autrice et professeure auxiliaire. Elle vit en Ontario, au Canada. Depuis plus d’un quart de siècle, elle mène des recherches spécialisées sur les questions de la santé mentale des personnes immigrantes, autochtones, noires et de couleur, du counseling multiculturel et des soins adaptés aux traumatismes. Selon elle, son enfance dans le milieu sikh du Pendjab et son expérience personnelle ont naturellement nourri son intérêt qui ne se dément pas pour ces enjeux actuels. En tant qu’alliée proactive, elle s’emploie fièrement à décentrer le racisme systémique, à éliminer les obstacles et à encourager les autres à s’adapter aux cultures différentes.
