of pottery and, instead of discarding them, pieces
Japanese Kintsukuroi Golden Pottery Repair, The Japanese art of Kintsugi takes the shattered pieces of pottery and, instead of discarding them, pieces it back together with fillings of resin and gold, enhancing the beauty and enriching the history of the pottery. Childhood abuse and complex trauma survivors are like that beautiful piece of pottery. Perhaps their life experiences seem to have shattered them, but with support from community, healing resources and faith, survivors can live happier lives, filling in the cracks with gold, and shining as something stronger, something new and even more beautiful. Survivors themselves, those at cptsdfoundation.org seek to provide the support and resources that are needed, not only to survive, but to thrive.
