Kim K’s Candid Chat: Friends are Her Secret Weapon for Mental Wellness
The reality TV queen, mogul, etc., Kim Kardashian, gave a bizarre interview and led to a larger conversation surrounding mental health methods. Kim opened up about her emotional state not being well and said she found solace in her squad of friends, when every one has even stopped visiting the therapist’s couch.
During an honest conversation, Kim shared how consistently supported she always feels by her closest pals. She said: ”I have the best friends in the world and I just have to say that every single solitary time I stand here and accept any sort of award, so my friends have always been on my roller coaster in life but it’s your friends in life that help you navigate that autonomously as a human. These are not superficial relationships they are the bedrock of her mental health.
Kim Kardashian reveals she has never seen a therapist because of her supportive friends:
“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends, like I have the best friends and they’re super supportive. I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, [it] is because I have… PIC.TWITTER.COM/VD8NMH5ZJU

Consider her friends to be her own personal board of trained therapists. They provide an anchor in the storm of her intense public existence. They serve as a sounding board for when life is hard, they listen compassionately and offer truly helpful advice during the ups and downs that come with being alive.
It goes beyond dialogues though. Kim is also able to let down her guard and share her anxieties with her friends who provide a level of solace and empathy arguably better than receiving therapy. It is this connection and trust most of all that make them truly unique.
Certainly Kim’s approach is very unorthodox from a conventional therapy perspective. Though therapy is still a necessary tool for many, her story emphasizes the importance of an effective support network. It ignites a dialog about how everyone individually handle mental illness.
Who knows, Kim’s story might just change the face of mental health solutions. That may indicate that for a small portion of individuals, having a friendly group to talk to could be just as good as therapy.
Not to downplay the significance of therapy at all. Although in a larger cultural sense, Kim’s transparency helps make room for acknowledging the many different ways people have to take care of themselves mentally. This shows that deep personal connections are extremely important for your mental well-being but it does even more.
At the end of the day, Kim’s mental health journey should serve as a gentle reminder – healing is not one-size-fits-all. The focus on her friends as her rock also shows a different side of the situation raising the idea that perhaps all support is good support. Through guidance from a therapist to friends that love you unconditionally, the story of Kim refusing to set aside her emotional health as a luxury, even in a time of reinvention – and for that, we are grateful.
