Conscious Uncoupling: How to be a Total Badass in Peacefully Completing a Relationship
Episode 93
Ever heard of conscious uncoupling?
Well Cliteratti... It's a f***ing thing! Divorces don't need to be difficult or painful... completing a relationship can be peaceful and many who have taken on this idea of conscious uncoupling are experience exactly that.
What is “conscious uncoupling?
“If we can recognize that our partners in our intimate relationships are our teachers, helping us evolve our internal, spiritual support structure, we can avoid the drama of divorce and experience what we call a conscious uncoupling. The idea of using the word uncoupling to describe divorce has been around since the early 1940s. In 1976, sociologist Diane Vaughan created her “uncoupling theory,” and in 2009 Katherine Woodward Thomas coined the term conscious uncoupling and began teaching this alternative to divorce to students throughout the world. In these previous theories, uncoupling is rooted in how to part amicably, keeping mutual respect as part of the process and remembering the needs of any children involved. While these are admirable and necessary steps for a conscious uncoupling, to us, self-reflection must be the foundation of the process if we are to avoid repeating the same problems in the next relationship. The idea of conscious uncoupling is to gain enough self-awareness that we no longer have to do it anymore because we’ve now found ourselves in a fulfilling, sustainable, long-term relationship” -
