Conscious Uncoupling



 What is conscious uncoupling? You may have heard that term used lately if you pay attention to media news, especially with the recent reveal of Gwyneth Paltrow’s split from Chris Martin. This concept is raising alert in the divorce attorney and divorce counseling worlds, mainly because it seems like a new theory, but it has in fact been around for a while.
 Conscious uncoupling is actually a great way to confront your issues while in couples therapy, because it forces you to own your part in the disintegration of the relationship. This is important for those in partnership with children, because often divorce turns into a war, who will win determines who has custody and is owed something monetarily. Divorce recovery therapy can help avoid contempt and still remain successful in your breakup, meaning that your children and loved ones are not negatively influenced by the split.
  Even if you think that conscious uncoupling is not for you, it is still a good idea to consider counseling before heading to a divorce attorney. At the very core of this new concept –conscious uncoupling- has a great approach to relationships. Blaming your partner for any issues that you may have is not healthy for anyone involved. If you don’t work on yourself first, you will never be successful in a relationship.
