In the season 5 finale of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian offered rare insights into her love life and shared why she ended her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, whose name remains undisclosed.
During the episode, Kim discussed how a recent therapy session made her realize that her fight-or-flight response has been impacting her love life. She opened up about how past trauma has affected her relationships.
“When someone tells me not to do something that I planned on, I physically get, like, ‘You’re getting in my way,’ and I will bulldoze whatever is in my way because you’re not going to tell me to change my schedule,” Kim explained. “I feel like that’s how I would get in relationships,” she added, indicating this behavior contributed to the end of her relationship, as per reports NZ Herald.
When asked about her ex, Kim responded emotionally, saying, “Like when [redacted] would tell me, ‘You work so much, why don’t you just take a week off?’ I’m like, ‘Get out of here!’”
Kim’s reflections also touched on a significant trauma from her past. In 2016, she was robbed at gunpoint by a group of masked men who stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from her Paris hotel room. This incident has had lasting effects on her emotional state and responses.
In the July 8 episode of The Kardashians, Kim shared her therapist’s advice with her sister Khloe. “You think calm is your superpower. I think you are so desensitized to trauma that you are literally frozen in fight-or-flight,” her therapist had told her.
Kim concluded the conversation in the finale with reflections on her regrets and future aspirations. “I think the one thing that just got me was just like, ‘You can have better relationships with your kids and your future partner if you figure your s*** out, so that’s why I’m doing it.’”
Kim’s candid discussion offers a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and healing, highlighting the impact of past traumas on her present relationships and her commitment to personal growth for the sake of her family and future partnerships.
