== Conscious uncoupling == [[Katherine Woodward Thomas]], a licensed marriage and family therapist, originated the term "[[conscious uncoupling]]" in 2009. Thomas began teaching this new approach to divorce to students throughout the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://behiveofhealing.com/conscious-uncoupling/|title=Conscious Uncoupling|last=Sadeghi|first=Habib|website=Be Hive of Healing|date=2014-05-14}}</ref> The term received popularization by [[Gwyneth Paltrow]], who used the phrase to describe her divorce with [[Chris Martin]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/mar/26/conscious-uncoupling-gwyneth-paltrow-chris-martin|title=What is conscious uncoupling?|newspaper=The Guardian|date=2016-04-26|author=Louis Degenhardt}}</ref> Paltrow had her doctors Dr. [[Sherry Sami]], and Habib Sadeghi and his wife explain the Conscious Uncoupling when she first made the news of her divorce public. A "conscious uncoupling is the ability to understand that every irritation and argument [within a marriage] was a signal to look inside ourselves and identify a negative internal object that needed healing," Habib Sadeghi explained. "From this perspective, there are no bad guys, just two people, it's about people as individuals, not just the relationship".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cnn.com/2014/03/26/living/gwyneth-paltrow-conscious-uncoupling-elle/index.html|title=What Gwyneth Paltrow's 'Conscious Uncoupling' really means|first=Natalie Matthews|last=Elle.com|website=CNN|date=26 March 2014}}</ref>
