The meaning behind the logo

Hello everyone, since my Facebook page has been up for a bit, I think it’s about time to talk about the meaning behind my logo. As you know, my logo is a fishing rod surrounded by a squiggly circle. The fishing rod represents tools and goes with the old saying, “Give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, you’ll feed him for the rest of his life.” The squiggly circle represents support. This ties into being able to consistently do both, with giving a man fish while he perfects fishing, until the fisherman doesn’t need to be given fish anymore. That support varies, like squiggles, to where the support is close if you need it and far away but still there, if you do not need the support as much or at all.

Now the deeper meaning behind the logo goes with the counseling process and the saying that a lot of counselors both love and hate with trusting the process. When teaching a man to fish, we need to recognize that the man isn’t going to be successful in catching fish all the time, especially starting out. So, giving him fish will help make sure that the new fisherman is taken care of, until he is able to perfect fishing to the point where you don’t need to continue giving him fish, unless the fisherman needs support. Same thing with therapy, counselors teach clients skills to use to help manage their mental health. Clients will not be successful utilizing the skills starting out and/or utilizing the skills efficiently may take more time than anticipated. That’s why extra support is needed until they can utilize those skills efficiently. Also, if a crisis happens,

Well that is the story behind why I chose the logo. Though feel free to let me know your thoughts.
