Conscious Uncoupling Meaning – Gwyneth Paltrow Confuses Everyone

Gwyneth Paltrow confused everyone when she described her breakup with Chris Martin this week as Conscious Uncoupling. The pair stressed, in the statement, that while “in many ways we are closer than we have ever been”, they have come to the conclusion that “while we love each other very much we will remain separate”.

So what is Conscious Uncoupling?

The phrase was from author, Katherine Woodward Thomas, who has created a five-step “Conscious Uncoupling” online process — to “release the trauma of a breakup, reclaim your power and reinvent your life.”

Via ABC:

Thomas said that the assumption that people will have only one lifetime partner — and that anything else is a failure — comes from a time long ago when the lifespan was much shorter.

“I’m a fan of marriage, but I recognize that most people in their lives will have two to three longtime relationships — which means one to two breakups. And so we need to learn how to do this better,” she said.

You can watch Thomas in this video where she talked about ‘Conscious Uncoupling.’
