Fair play to him.
A Dublin psychotherapist, Colin McDonnell, came to work one day to find that his sign outside his property had been vandalised. Instead of reporting the issue to the Gardai Colin came up with a unique way to deal with the situation.
He is offering the person who vandalised his sign free counselling sessions.
Our friends over in JOE.ie spotted an article on Colin’s website entitled ‘How we respond to vandalism,’ where he says:
“We’re quite proud of the little glass sign outside our Ranelagh clinic. Well, at least we were anyway, before someone took a notion to it and decided to smash it off.
“It probably took quite a bit of effort to yank off. Whoever was behind this was clearly determined. It’s a lot of effort to go to for a seemingly random act.
“That’s why we’d love to talk to this person and offer them four free psychoanalytic sessions. No catches.
“We’re just as convinced by the authenticity of the act as they were – perhaps even unknowingly. An act like that speaks of a very fundamental truth. We’d love for you to come and figure out what that truth is and we’re willing to help you do it.
“We’d appreciate if people could share this post, or if they know the executor, to encourage them to get in touch.
‘The act speaks – maybe it’s time to speak in its place.”
