Some time ago I travelled to Prague and became obsessed with the insignia hung outside some homes and businesses as visual representation. What would I choose to represent myself and my family? As I started a private practice and the idea of hanging a shingle out as a therapist, I have often thought about how best to represent the work and the values. This image by Sophie Blackall comes closest to representing it for me, combined with the following quote:
“Kindness covers all my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what. our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try” ~Roger Ebert
