Symbolism behind the name

hands2a.jpg

My logo
 
It shows two hands circling a sphere (the world within):
Psychology is a helping profession.
The two hands represents embracing and scaffolding clients.
It is a collaborative process - hand in hand. 
 
The space between those hands is an S:
That's where I (Sharon) fit in.
I am passionate in my belief that I am doing
what I was meant to do.
 
The logo is a modified Yin-Yang symbol:
The hands are white and blue, representing the dual aspects of human nature (masculine and feminine, success and failure, good and bad).
I choose not to use black. Black is the absence of colour; and the absence of life.
 
The white "hand" is also a symbol of the "dove":
This represents "setting my clients free."

Symmetry represents perfect balance:
One half perfectly reflects the other half.
A mirror image. Symmetrical and balanced.
 
Symetry is not perfect:
But then, people are not perfect.
I think of the dual aspect of nature (yin and yang) which flow perfectly in to each other (but are not perfect reflections of each other).
 
Symetry is missing "something":
Yes, symetry is missing one "m". It is slightly disconcerting to type in a deliberately misspelled word, but you clearly know what the word is.
Something is missing but it's still a coherent entity.   
 
SY-ME-TRY has three syllables:
The symbolism of three is found in the new testament.
There are three elements to human nature: thought, feeling, behaviour
In terms of genetics, there are three people: father, mother, child
From transactional analysis, there are three states of self: parent, adult, child.
 
Symetry embodies the journey toward self-efficacy:
Symetry can be read as "see  me  try"     
or in other cases,  <sigh> "me  try"
All I can ever ask of myself or others is that they TRY
 
My special clients embody the symbolism of the word symetry 


Additional note
Back in the days before the Internet (well actually in the days of the "dirt track" Fidonet) I wanted to use the name "symmetry". I had to use a seven-digit login starting with "P" for my server, so I used name of Psymetry (incorporating psychology). Moving from my Fidonet account to an Internet account, I dropped the P. Sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake?
