Gwyneth Paltrow is looking back at the impact she made when she used the term, 'conscious uncoupling,' to refer to her 2014 split from ex-husband Chris Martin.
"I was already pretty tattered from what had been a tough year. Frankly, the intensity of the response saw me bury my head in the sand deeper than I ever had in my very public life," she said.
As for how she came up with the term,"conscious uncoupling," Paltrow said she never heard of the phrase before she used it, and frankly to her,"the term sounded a bit full of itself, painfully progressive and hard to swallow." "It was an idea introduced to us by our therapist, the man who helped us architect our new future," she said.
“I was intrigued, less by the phrase, but by the sentiment,” Paltrow added. “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."This story first appeared on
