Kintsugi

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold dusted lacquer to create beautiful new works of art. The lacquer is carefully woven into the cracks and the result is something more exquisite than the original.

I love how analogous this is to therapy. Our wounds are precisely where our greatest beauty and strengths exist. When wounds are held together with unconditional love, the result is a life more beautiful than the client could ever have imagined possible.
