American reality star, Kim Kardashian, has expressed worry that she’s “turning into a full robot” with “no emotion” due to previous trauma.
On the July 18 episode of The Kardashians, Kim opened up about her struggle with mental health to her sister Khloe Kardashian.
“[My therapist] 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,’” she recalled. “So then she was like, ‘One time in life something happened, and you remained calm, and that worked for you. So you will always choose calm.’”
Khloe suggested that Kim’s 2016 Paris robbery ordeal could be the trauma behind her tendency to remain calm.
She said before the incident Kim wasn’t calm before.
“You were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. You cried about everything. You were bratty. You threw tantrums. Everything stopped after you got robbed, because you stayed calm in that situation and you even said, ‘My calmness is what kept me alive,’” Khloe added.
In a private conversation with cameras, Kim reflected on the events of her robbery and how the traumatic incident has affected her mental health.
“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,” she said.
“[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 like, no emotion.”
