Khloe Kardashian gets very honest about her complicated history with therapy. In a new episode of her “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, the reality star shared why she avoided therapy for years and what finally convinced her to give it another chance. Her explanation ties together a feeling of frustration, past betrayal, and the process of rebuilding trust that started with her family.
Khloe Kardashian opens up about therapy and why she was ‘opposed’ to it for a long time
In the January 7 episode, Khloe Kardashian answered her listeners’ questions during the “Ask Me Anything” segment, and one of them asked what motivated her to seek therapy again. She said the push came from constant pressure from friends and family.
Kardashian confessed on the podcast, “I think I was bullied into therapy, and I did it just to get everyone to shut the f— up, because it was everywhere I turned. Someone was like, ‘You’ve got to go to therapy.’”
Moreover, she explained that she wasn’t against the idea of therapy itself. Instead, she said, “I was opposed for so long because I always had really bad therapists,” while discussing one of the biggest reasons she stopped trusting the process. About that, Kardashian shared, “I’ve had therapists sell stories to the press before, and it’s been really horrible and toxic. So, I was so distrusting.”
That betrayal lines up with what the star shared in a 2025 interview on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast. She said it took her “over 10 years” to feel ready to try therapy again, describing how she felt too guarded to open up, and said she didn’t feel safe until Kim Kardashian recommended her own therapist. On her podcast, she said, “Kim introduced me to her therapist, and I actually loved her.” She added, “We connected,” and reasoned, “Maybe because Kim was seeing her and I felt safe with that.”
Khloe Kardashian added that finding the right therapist made all the difference in therapy. As she put it, “I think a therapist can ruin you or completely transform you.” She also advised, “Just be careful and make sure you find the right one.”
