Breakups Don’t Have To Be So Painful…

At the core, “conscious uncoupling” maintains much more respect for the relationship and your connection, than a harsh breakup.

With one of my previous partners many years ago, even though we didn’t know about this term - I would say that our separation was more of a conscious uncoupling than a breakup. For that reason, there was much more kindness, empathy and compassion shared. To this day, I could call him if I needed anything and vice versa. Our families still maintain occasional appropriate communication (mine with his and his with mine).

When someone is a huge part of your life for a long time, having a hard breakup can be incredibly traumatic and negatively impact both of your well-beings for many years to come.

I wanted to share this concept in hopes that it could help someone else, or if you know someone who is about to “break up” please send this to them if you think they’d benefit from this approach. I think it’s so much healthier for everyone involved both in the short term and long term.
