I take a person-first approach, meaning our struggles - ie depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction - are experiences we have, they are not us. Taking these afflictions out of the driver’s seat and handing the wheel back to the client or the couple is part of the work. Contact me, commit to the process. It can be a bumpy ride, but one well worth taking. https://www.chooseactfl.com/areas-of-practice daily 0.75 2022-11-24 https://www.chooseactfl.com/book-an-appointment daily 0.75 2022-11-24 https://www.chooseactfl.com/home daily 1.0 2022-11-24 https://www.chooseactfl.com/about daily 0.75 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a47a7023122613e06e314/1586360464801-EJ8KWL49IGCGQTKFZKFX/kintsugi-update-2.jpg About Revitalize Poetically translated to “golden joinery,” Kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery. Rather than rejoin ceramic pieces with a camouflaged adhesive, the Kintsugi technique employs a special tree sap lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Once completed, beautiful seams of gold glint in the conspicuous cracks of ceramic wares, giving a one-of-a-kind appearance to each “repaired” piece. This unique method celebrates each artifact’s unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. In fact, Kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with a new look and giving it a second life. A quick note: we are not broken, but sometimes feel broken. Thank you to Jake who provided this rich metaphor to inform his work and to Choose ACT. From https://mymodernmet.com/kintsugi-kintsukuroi/
