Kim Kardashian disclosed that she sought therapy just before her marriage with Kanye West came to an end.
In a recent interview, the reality star, aged 43, shared that she had tried therapy before her marriage ultimately dissolved in 2021 after six years. While she has a therapist specializing in child psychology for parenting advice, Kim emphasized the importance of her close-knit group of friends, considering their open conversations as a form of therapy.
Now navigating life on her own and co-parenting North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago with Kanye West, Kim appears to be in a positive space post-split. Her sister Khloé noted a newfound confidence and assurance in Kim, highlighting her realization that she can thrive independently. Kim's friend Allison Statter, who has known her since childhood, expressed admiration for Kim's courage in making the difficult decision, acknowledging her fear of the unknown and her desire to keep her family together.
Kim Kardashian also revealed her reliance on her Christian faith during challenging times, stating that she's more religious than most people might guess. She views life events as lessons and believes that everything unfolds as it should, guiding individuals to where they need to be. Drawing on her own experiences, including her parents' divorce when she was nine, Kim approaches talking to her children about the separation with sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that they feel loved and heard.
Reflecting on her parents' divorce, Kim recalls their openness and applies those lessons to her own parenting. She emphasizes understanding the emotional impact on kids of any age and stresses the need to convey vulnerability without dwelling on the negative aspects. Kim acknowledges that even though she manages stress well, it doesn't mean she doesn't feel emotions, expressing that she allows herself to experience and express sadness when needed.
