And Then They Lived Happily…

We enter our romantic relationships with great love, hope, and excitement—we've found the 'one', so we plan and forge our futures together. But sometimes, for many different reasons, relationships come undone; they don't work out. Commonly, we view this as a personal failure, rather than an opportunity. And instead of honoring what we once meant to each other, we hoard bitterness and anger, stewing in shame and resentment. Sometimes even lashing out in destructive and hurtful ways, despite the fact that we’re good people at heart. That's natural: we're almost biologically primed to respond this way.

Yet there is another path to the end of a relationship—one filled with mutual respect, kindness, and deep caring. Katherine Woodward Thomas's groundbreaking method, Conscious Uncoupling, provides the valuable skills and tools for you to travel this challenging terrain with these five thoughtful and thought-provoking steps:

Step 1: Find Emotional Freedom

Step 2: Reclaim Your Power and Your Life

Step 3: Break the Pattern, Heal Your Heart

Step 4: Become a Love Alchemist

Step 5: Create Your Happy Even After Life

This paradigm-shifting guide will steer you away from a bitter end and toward a new life that’s empowered and flourishing.

Critic reviews

“Katherine Woodward Thomas brings a gentle but fiercly powerful approach to what can otherwise be such a painful experience. Through Conscious Uncoupling, we can transform the deepest disappointment into a sacred journey from sorrow to peace."—Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love

"During a breakup—a time that normally brings out the worst in us—Katherine Woodward Thomas takes us by the hand and helps us live in ways that are aligned with the highest and the best we have within us. With amazing clarity and depth, she’ll take the splinter out of your soul and support you to end your relationship in a way that leaves you, and those you care about, whole and complete rather than broken and damaged. I absolutely love this book!"—Marci Shimoff, New York Times Bestselling author of Happy for No Reason

“Conscious Uncoupling is a kind and compassionate guide on how to overcome breakup grief and use it to transform and enrich your entire life. The process Katherine Woodward Thomas provides will not only help make your heart whole again, but will also ensure a positive, hopeful future for all involved. A paradigm-shifting book that promises to uplevel how we collectively do breakups moving forward.”—John Gray, New York Times bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

Whether you are divorced (recent or long ago, considering divorce, wanting to repair marriage, break up, etc….this is an amazing book looking inward on how to choose love and grace over spite and hatred. Highly recommend.

Parts of this were so hard to listen to as the person in the partnership being left. Certainly validated my feelings of crisis as our separation is mostly a surprise to me, and this registeres 9/10 on the scale of loss/grief. The book lays out a process that can be done by oneself or with your ex-partner to get through the turmoil of uncoupling. All the while offering a positive vision for the future. The author includes so much up-to-date scholarship about the emotions one might feel during uncoupling that you end up having to face up against the hard truths of your relationship. That's a good thing. I've listened a couple of times.

What to say here?
Is there a good stuff in here? Yes.

audio version, no. Definitely not the version you want to check out because of how crazy annoying the ladies voice who read it.

Also, despite there being some good stuff in here and this book being a novel idea a bunch of therapists for good reason aren’t into this and really don’t like this book and it’s manipulative power that is evident as you read it -you can imagine one of the two people going to the break up patting themselves on the back for having a “good break up “ and the other needs to do this stuff as they break when they’d rather just have their own space be allowed to be rightly pissed/hearbroken/angry all the things, but the implication (the point of the book) is, unless they do this. They’re having a “bad” breakup. If you’ve been married to anybody who does this sort of moralizing bullshit, you could easily see how this is just another tool for them to try to control you after they leave you and feel like the good guy, even if they were the bad guy.
Crossing into the heavy suggestions that the healthy couple do this is a judgement and this book is sadly a tool for making a bad time worse even if there are things about it that are helpful - other resources are better.

Annoying Voice kills annoying book

This book is full of woke, idealistic nonsense. Marriage is meant to be for life — that’s where its real beauty lies. It’s about facing challenges together, growing through the hard seasons, and discovering what’s possible on the other side of commitment. How about being curious about that reality instead of pushing this selfish narrative that casually destroys families in the name of “finding someone better”?
