What Kim Kardashian’s therapist said to her after desperate mom of four turned to professional help with parenting her out-of-control kids
Long after her sister Kourtney suggested that she get therapy, Kim Kardashian has finally been bitten by the therapy bug, she revealed on this week’s The Kardashians.
Kim comes home after seeing a doctor for her injured fingers and finds Khloe there, as the 43-year-old Kim tells the 40-year-old Khloe about her therapy session.
‘She was like you think calm is your superpower, I think you are so desensitized from trauma that you literally are frozen in fight or flight,’ Kim tells Khloe, who says, ‘I believe that.’
‘So then she was like, “One time in life, something happened and you remained calm and that worked for you so you will always choose calm.”’
Khloe wonders, ‘Don’t you think your robbery? You weren’t calm before,” referring to the 2016 heist where thieves broke into her Paris hotel room and stole $10 million in jewels.

‘She was like you think calm is your superpower, I think you are so desensitized from trauma that you literally are frozen in fight or flight,’ Kim tells Khloe, who says, ‘I believe that.’
That didn’t seem to occur to Kim, as she asked, ‘Really?’
Khloe says, ‘You don’t remember that? Kim, you were a lunatic. If someone touched your clothes, “I was gonna wear that today!” You were like fully dressed, like you became calm.’
Kim says, ‘I should tell the therapist, cause she’s trying to go back to like childhood, and I’m like…’ as Khloe says, ‘No, you were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. You cried about everything, you were bratty, you threw tantrums, everything stopped after you got robbed, because you stayed calm in that situation. You even said, my calmness is what kept me alive. That’s when it started. It doesn’t take a f***ing detective to figure that one out.’
Kim says in confession, ‘I mean, imagine you’re like, gun to your head, getting tied up, dragged across a hotel room and the guy, I remember him telling me like just like, “Stay calm and you’ll live,” and I did that and like, it served me well at that time and I think it saved my life. But, I think I’ve let it get too calm to where people could take advantage of my calmness or I’m just turning into a full robot with like no emotion.’
Kim then admits to Khloe, ‘But let me tell you something… Kourtney was right,’ which causes Khloe to widen her eyes.
Kim explains, ‘I was just like, “Oh my God,” because she was like, “Why do you work so much? Why do you do this?” and I looked at her like, “Are you Kourtney?”
They flash back to a scene with Kim and Khloe and Kourtney where Kourtney tells her, ‘I don’t think you understand what’s driving you and if you don’t understand what’s driving you, you’re not the master of your mind. Knowing what drives you will lead you to your happiness and joy.’
Kim says in confession, ‘I think we took Kourtney’s question on “Why do you do what you do?” in like a defensive way at the time, but I think she was just saying like you should recognize I’m running from dealing by staying busy.’
Khloe says, ‘You don’t remember that? Kim, you were a lunatic. If someone touched your clothes, “I was gonna wear that today!” You were like fully dressed, like you became calm’

Kim tells Khloe, ‘She also said that she started to watch our show to do a little bit of homework,’ as Khloe says with a laugh, ‘That’s probably not a good idea.’
Kim tells Khloe, ‘She said we all need therapy, especially you,’ as they both laugh and Khloe says, ‘I don’t doubt it.’
Kim says, ‘I really think you should be on this journey with me and do it with me,’ as Khloe says, ‘Oh no.’
Kim adds in confession, ‘I don’t want to be the new Kourtney but I always am, but after going to therapy, I kind of thought Khloe might enjoy having someone help navigate through specific situations in life.’
