Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Therapy, Family Support, and New Beginnings in Her 40s
Khloe Kardashian, now 40, has been candid about the challenges she faced in her personal life, particularly with therapy. In a recent interview with Bustle, the reality star revealed a “nightmare” experience with therapy that nearly pushed her away from seeking professional help altogether. However, with the support of her sister Kim Kardashian, Khloe has found her way back to therapy and is embracing a new chapter in her life.
A “Nightmare” Therapy Experience
Khloe’s therapy journey was dramatically impacted eight years ago when her therapist leaked personal details to a tabloid during her difficult divorce from Lamar Odom. Recalling the betrayal, Khloe shared, “I remember I was going to therapy and the next thing I knew, something private I told my therapist was on a tabloid.” She emphasized that the only way the information could have leaked was through the therapist, which understandably left her shaken. This breach of trust caused Khloe to step away from therapy for a while.
Kim Kardashian’s Supportive Push
Despite her negative experience, Khloe eventually returned to therapy, thanks to the encouragement of her sister, Kim. “I am going to therapy now. It’s actually Kim’s therapist,” Khloe revealed. “Kim was really adamant. I was like, ‘I’ll do this for you.’” The therapist’s recommendation for Khloe to attend therapy three times a week has proven helpful, and she credits Kim for helping her through dark times. “Kim has really held my hand through so many dark phases for me,” Khloe said, highlighting the importance of her sister’s unwavering support. “I feel like she has always been holding that light at the end of the tunnel.”
Embracing Life in Her 40s
Khloe also opened up about how she’s embracing life in her 40s, sharing how good she feels physically and mentally. “Wait — I feel so good! I am in the best shape of my life. I’m doing new career stuff. I’ve only been 40 for about six months, but it’s the absolute best,” she expressed. Khloe’s new outlook on life has given her a sense of confidence and clarity, with her saying, “You don’t give a sh** about some of the stuff you once did.” This newfound self-assurance has translated into a more positive perspective on her personal and professional life.
Single and Loving It
Khloe’s love life has also been a topic of discussion, particularly after her split from basketball star Tristan Thompson, with whom she shares two children. “Dating has not been a focus for me, and I’ve been single for about three years and love it,” she explained. Khloe elaborated on her preference for being single, stating that she enjoys the freedom and independence it brings. When it comes to dating, she jokingly added, “Where do I go to date you? I’m not going to a restaurant where there’s paparazzi. I’m not going to your home because what if you kill me? You’re not coming to my home — I have kids!”
Khloe’s New Podcast and Faith
Khloe’s new podcast has also sparked interest, with the star sharing that it will be focused on topics she’s passionate about, such as religion, grief, healing, trauma, and relationships. “It’s not going to be salacious. I am not going to be gossiping about other people. It’s more the things that I’m into,” she clarified. A significant part of the podcast will involve her deep connection to faith. “I took theology in school and love all types of religions. I’m Christian and I love my faith,” Khloe shared. She credits her belief system for helping her through some of the toughest times in her life.
Family Ties: Close Bond with Rob Kardashian
Khloe also spoke about her strong bond with her younger brother, Rob Kardashian. “I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much. I feel so deeply what he feels,” she said. Khloe expressed empathy for Rob’s struggles with being in the public eye and the judgment he faces. Their close relationship remains a source of strength for both of them.
Khloe also discussed her decision to have a second child for her daughter True. She explained, “When my dad passed away, my mom — regardless of how incredible and amazing she is — she couldn’t understand the pain that we felt.” As a result, Khloe wanted to ensure that True would have a sibling to provide companionship and emotional support. “It’s just inevitable that both of her parents at some point will go. And I just need her to have that support system.”
Perfectionism and Parenting
Khloe admitted that she has a tendency toward perfectionism, which she’s noticed in her children as well. “Sometimes my kids will want to line their toys up a certain way, and then I feel bad because I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, they’re mirroring what I’m doing.’” She explained that her desire for order and structure is something she’s trying to balance while raising her kids, ensuring they have the freedom to express themselves while learning valuable life lessons.
A Commitment to Reality TV
Despite everything, Khloe remains committed to reality TV. “I love doing the show for so many reasons. I love documenting memories. It’s almost like I have really expensive home videos. Maybe the kids will take over,” she said with a smile. The Kardashians have built an empire through their reality show, and Khloe’s continued involvement speaks to her love for documenting her life, as well as her desire to share authentic moments with her fans.
Khloe Kardashian’s openness about her therapy struggles, family dynamics, and life in her 40s highlights her growth and resilience. With the support of her sister Kim, Khloe has learned to embrace therapy again, opened up about her faith, and found peace in her personal life. As she continues to document her journey on reality TV and through her new podcast, Khloe shows that her story is far from over—and she’s determined to embrace it all with confidence and strength.
