I have always liked big cats and snow. To combine these two, my search came across a Snowlion of Tibet. This mythical creature is on the flag and is said to possess qualities of strength and bravery as well as wisdom and grace. As a counselor I know the importance of these qualities.
A good counselor needs to be brave and strong to accompany a client into the darkest narrative of their story with compassion and without judgement. Wisdom helps counselors know when and how to follow and when to lead the client to a more wholehearted life. Gradually, after having received compassion in a sincere and consistent manner, the client shows capacity for self-compassion and compassion for the world.
