Loving Across Difference: Navigating Identity and Family Relationships Between Cultures with Sahaj Kaur Kohli
First-generation children of immigrants often struggle with bicultural straddling, impacting their sense of identity, their mental health, their priorities and values, and their relationships. They can also find it difficult to be understood and loved by their parents in a way they can truly feel. Dr. Alexandra is joined by Sahaj Kaur Kohli, founder of Brown Girl Therapy and author of But What Will People Say: Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love and Family Between Cultures to discuss how we can develop more capacity to love across differences and make shifts within ourselves to change our relationships for the better.
You will come away from this conversation with:
Validation for identity tensions you may carry as the child of immigrant parents (or more perspective on these identity tensions if you are not!)
Insight into balancing personal boundaries with cultural expectations, especially when dealing with clashing priorities - plus a fresh perspective on how to approach healing
Tips on finding the right therapist and how to ensure you’re receiving culturally-attuned care given the mental health field’s bias toward a Eurocentric and individualized approach
Strategies for building healthier relationships - with yourself, your family, and romantic partners - while honoring your heritage
