Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian was previously in an on-and-off relationship with her ex, Scott Disick, for nearly 10 years before getting together with her musician husband Travis Barker. She opened up about her past “wounds” while waxing lyrical about therapy to her clan on the latest episode of “The Kardashians.”
“I didn’t start a self-awareness journey knowing what I was doing,” Kardashian said. “I started therapy through a toxic relationship and then learned so much about myself, about my family, about why I do certain things, about our childhood wounds, about how they show up in intimate relationships — generational trauma.”
Kourtney has three children with Disick and recently gave birth to her first child with husband Travis, son Rocky.
Despite her support for therapy, Khloé told her sister counseling isn’t always the answer in life.
“No offense or anything,” Kourtney said, “but we all have problems – just buckle up and let’s go. There’s certain patterns to break. You don’t want to pass things down to your kids.”
Khloé then asked if Kourtney felt choosing “bad partners” was a genetic trait.
“I think it’s generational,” Kourtney replied. “It’s from MJ [their mom Kris Jenner’s mother]. She was married three times … we all have picked people we thought we could change different things about them — and we can’t.”
“I’m not even thinking about that,” Kris replied. “In a billion years I’ve got a full, fabulous life, why am I going back to reimagine?”
In a confessional interview, Khloé joked, “God bless Kourtney because she’s definitely trying to have this therapy talk. And God bless my mom because she’s definitely not.”
“I know that people in my family would benefit from therapy,” Kourtney added later in the episode. “But I’m letting go of trying to change other people and just accepting everyone for who they are. This is me. This is my journey. That’s you and that’s your journey.”
