Who Were You Before You Needed Them?
Details
In 1981 Shel Silverstein wrote a children’s book called The Missing Piece Meets the Big O.
It is five minutes long. Maybe two hundred words. Written for children.
And yet it captures something that most adults spend their entire lives trying to figure out.
It follows a triangular piece searching for someone to carry it someone it can fit into perfectly, someone who will finally make it whole. Until it meets the Big O a circle already whole, already rolling, already enough, who suggests something that stops the missing piece cold.
Maybe you don’t need to find something to complete you. Maybe you need to learn to roll on your own.
Because most of us have been the missing piece at some point. Adjusting our edges to fit. Defining ourselves by who we’re with, who we’ve lost, or who we’re trying to become for someone else.
There was a version of you before all of that. Before the relationship that changed you. Before the loss that broke you open. That version is still in there.
So, the objective of this meeting is to look for them.
What we’ll get into:
• The version of you that existed before your most defining relationship and where they went
• Why we outsource our sense of self to other people without realizing it
• The difference between genuine connection and filling a void
• What it actually looks like to be whole on your own without being closed off
• How to stop choosing people for what they fix in you and start choosing them for who they actually are
