Steering Your Divorce Toward a “Conscious Uncoupling” Experience

The term “conscious uncoupling,” a healthy, positive relationship break-up process pioneered by nationally acclaimed author, speaker, and therapist, Katherine Woodward Thomas, recently made headlines during the celebrity divorce of the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and Coldplay band-leader, Chris Martin. All celebrity appeal aside, the process is gaining traction because it promises a more amiable, cooperative outcome than the usual painful and contentious results most divorce cases create when “best friends” turn “worst enemies.”

In a nutshell, “conscious uncoupling” is a way to manage a relationship breakup with loving care, effectively containing the experience in the space of understanding, so that healing may occur for all parties involved, including children.

In her book, Conscious Uncoupling, Ms. Thomas describes how to transform the end of a relationship into a mutually satisfying transition – one that heals past sufferings, heartache, and disappointment, while setting the stage for an empowered and inspired life after a breakup.

At Evans Family Law Group, we agree with the tenets and advocate the concept the “conscious uncoupling.” In fact, over the years, we have handled hundreds of divorce cases, and we always advise that a cooperative, friendly divorce is the best alternative to achieving satisfaction for everyone at a fraction of the cost.
