What Did Gwyneth Paltrow Say About Conscious Uncoupling?
Gwyneth Paltrow, according to the fans, coined the term Conscious Uncoupling. Revealing about the same, Paltrow shared, "I definitely did not coin the phrase, but I feel despite us taking quite a lot of s--- for it when we first announced that all these years ago, I feel very proud that we were able to, maybe, make some divorces a little bit easier, happier.” She further said, "I had never heard of the phrase 'conscious uncoupling.' Frankly, the term sounded a bit full of itself, painfully progressive and hard to swallow.”
The actress continued along the same lines as she said, "It was an idea introduced to us by our therapist, the man who helped us architect our new future. I was intrigued, less by the phrase, but by the sentiment. Was there a world where we could break up and not lose everything? Could we be a family, even though we were not a couple? We decided to try."
