Kim Kardashian has learned a lot about herself after paying a visit to a therapist.
The 43-year-old has refused to go to therapy for years despite Kourtney Kardashian's encouragement, but finally changed her mind and opened up about her experience on The Kardashians . Kim said she made a breakthrough during the session as she finally uncovered the truth behind her trauma response .
In the episode, Kim met up with Khloe Kardashian at her home and told her sister all about her experience. Kim explained: "She was like, ‘You think calm is your superpower. I think you are so desensitized from trauma that you literally are frozen in fight or flight'."

The therapist suggested to Kim: "One time in life, something happened and you remained calm and that worked for you, so you will always choose calm." Khloe suggested: "Don't you think your robbery? You weren't calm before."
Kim was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room in 2016. The thieves stole almost $10million worth of jewelry as they bound her and put her in the bathtub. Kim has always credited her ability to stay calm in that situation as the thing that saved her life.
After Khloe's suggestion, Kim said: "I should tell the therapist because she's trying to go back to childhood." Khloe added: "Everything stopped after you got robbed because you stayed calm in that situation. And you even said, 'My calmness is what kept me alive'."

Kim opened up about the terrifying ordeal in a confessional. Speaking to the cameras, she said: "Imagine you're, like, gun to your head, getting tied up, dragged across a hotel room and the guy, I remember him telling me, just like, 'Stay calm and you'll live'.
"And I did that and it served me well at that time and I think it saved my life. But, I think I've let it get too calm to where people could take advantage of my calmness or I'm just turning into a full robot with no emotion."
Kim then tried to convince Khloe to try therapy. She explained how the therapist had been watching The Kardashians as "homework" and suggested Khloe needed to seek help. Kim added: "I really think you should be on this journey with me and do it with me."
However, Khloe wasn't onboard and said: "Oh no." Speaking to the cameras after, Kim admitted: "After going to therapy, I kind of thought Khloe might enjoy having someone to help her navigate through specific situations in life."
