In a candid interview with Bustle, the "Kardashians" star, no stranger to personal challenges, opens up about the moment her trust in therapists was irrevocably broken.

Khloé recounts the shocking moment when a private conversation with her therapist was leaked to a tabloid. “I remember going to therapy, and the next thing I know, something personal I shared was splashed across a tabloid,” she said, disbelief in her voice. “I knew right away my therapist was the one who leaked it. There’s no way this information came out any other way.”

This breach of trust occurred amid her painful divorce from NBA star Lamar Odom, a relationship marred by infidelity and addiction. But it was more than just another heartbreak—it was a betrayal from someone who was supposed to help her heal. The betrayal was so profound that Khloé walked away from therapy altogether.

“I stopped going to therapy and started hitting the gym instead,” she admitted, her tone shifting from vulnerability to strength. “I didn’t trust anyone anymore. The gym became my sanctuary.”

The experience left a lasting scar, one that took years to heal. “It was jarring, unbelievable even. There’s no way it came from anywhere else,” she said, firmly believing the therapist was the sole source of the leak. It took nearly a decade for Khloé to trust therapy again, and it was her sister Kim Kardashian who finally encouraged her to give it another try.

“At 39, I gave therapy another shot with Kim’s therapist,” Khloé explained. “Kim really pushed me. I hesitated, but eventually, I thought, ‘Okay, maybe this could help.’ And it did.”

The results were transformative. “My therapist told me, ‘You need to come three days a week,’” Khloé laughed. “She was like, ‘You really need to be here.’” After unpacking years of emotional baggage, Khloé feels her 40s have been a revelation.

“When you’re younger, you think 40 is ancient. But now that I’m here, I feel better than ever!” she beamed. “I’m in the best shape of my life, exploring new career opportunities, and it’s only been six months!”

Khloé is now embracing her 40s with confidence, shedding the emotional weight of her 30s and stepping into a new chapter. “I intentionally closed so many chapters at 39, releasing the old energy I no longer wanted.”

In a world where privacy is fleeting, Khloé’s story is a powerful reminder of the harm caused by betrayal. Yet, it also demonstrates that no matter the depth of the wound, she will rise—stronger, more determined, and ready to face the future.
