This amazing Japanese Bowls song from Peter Meyer is a useful metaphor for applying MSC-Soften-Soothe-Allow for Shame.

Kintsugi 金継ぎ?, きんつぎ, "golden joinery", also known as Kintsukuroi 金繕い?, きんつくろい, "golden repair", is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.

As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. How wonderful is this!
