Long after her sister Kourtney suggested she go to therapy, Kim Kardashian finally caught the therapy bug, she revealed on this week’s The Kardashians.
Kim arrives home after seeing a doctor for her injured fingers and finds Khloe there, as Kim, 43, tells Khloe, 40, about her therapy session.
“She was like, ‘You think calm is your superpower, I think you’re so desensitized by trauma that you’re literally frozen in fight or flight,'” Kim tells Khloe, who replies, “I believe that.”
‘Then she told me, “Once in your life, something happened and you stayed calm and that worked for you, so you will always choose calm.”
Khloe asks, “Don’t you think your robbery was a robbery? You weren’t calm before,” referring to the 2016 robbery, when thieves broke into her Paris hotel room and stole $10 million worth of jewelry.
Long after her sister Kourtney suggested she go to therapy, Kim Kardashian finally caught the therapy bug, she revealed on this week’s The Kardashians.
Kim arrives home after seeing a doctor for her injured fingers and finds Khloe there, as Kim, 43, tells Khloe, 40, about her therapy session.
“She was like, ‘You think calm is your superpower, I think you’re so desensitized by trauma that you’re literally frozen in fight or flight,'” Kim tells Khloe, who replies, “I believe that.”
Kim didn’t seem to think of that, and asked, “Really?”
Khloe says: “Don’t you remember that? Kim, you were a lunatic. If someone touched your clothes, you were like, ‘I was going to wear that today!’ You were fully dressed, like you had calmed down.”
Kim says, “She should tell the therapist, because she’s trying to regress to childhood, and I’m like…” while Khloe says, “No, you were never calm when you were a teenager, when you were in your 20s. You cried at everything, you were bratty, you threw tantrums, it all stopped after you got robbed, because you stayed calm in that situation. You even said, ‘My calm is what kept me alive. That’s when it started. It doesn’t take a fucking detective to figure that out.'”
Kim confesses: “Imagine you have a gun pointed at your head, you’re being tied up and dragged around a hotel room and the guy, I remember him saying to me, ‘Stay calm and you’ll live,’ and I did and it was helpful at the time and I think it saved my life. But I think I let it all get so calm that people might take advantage of my calmness or I’m just turning into an emotionless robot.”
Kim then admits to Khloe, “But let me tell you something… Kourtney was right,” causing Khloe’s eyes to widen.
Kim explains: “I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ because she was like, ‘Why are you working so hard? Why are you doing this?’ and I looked at her like, ‘Are you Kourtney?’
They cut back to a scene with Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, where Kourtney tells her, “I don’t think you understand what motivates you, and if you don’t understand what motivates you, you’re not in control of your mind. Knowing what motivates you will lead you to happiness and joy.”
Kim confesses, “I think we took Kourtney’s question about ‘Why do you do what you do?’ as a defensive way at the time, but I think she was just saying that I should acknowledge that I’m running away from drug dealing by keeping myself busy.”
Khloe says: “Don’t you remember that? Kim, you were a lunatic. If someone touched your clothes, you were like, ‘I was going to wear that today!’ You were fully dressed, like you had calmed down.”

Kim tells Khloe, “She also said she started watching our show to do some homework,” as Khloe laughs, “Probably not a good idea.”
Kim tells Khloe, “He said we all need therapy, especially you,” as they both laugh and Khloe says, “I don’t doubt that.”
Kim says, “I really think you should go on this journey with me and do it with me,” while Khloe replies, “Oh, no.”
Kim adds in a confessional: “I don’t want to be the new Kourtney, but I always am, but after going to therapy, I thought Khloe might like having someone to help her through specific life situations.”
