Kim Kardashian secretly turns to hypnotherapy to try to forget the anguish of her torturous marriage to Kanye West
Kim Kardashian is once again facing the shadows of her past after the release of In Whose Name?, a documentary examining her former marriage to Kanye West. The eight-year relationship, which ended in divorce in 2022, has long been marked by controversy, and the new film has reportedly reopened old wounds for the Skims founder.Kim Kardashian catches Khlo snacking in the backgroundThe documentary includes raw moments, including a clip from 2019 where Kardashian, in tears, told West, "Your personality was not like this a few years ago." For Kardashian, now 44, reliving such scenes has brought back memories she had been trying to move past. According to RadarOnline.com, she has turned once again to hypnosis therapy, a method she has previously found effective in managing trauma."Kim's used hypnosis in the past as part of her therapy, and she does find it helps," a source told RadarOnline.com. "Unfortunately, the scars from Kanye are very deep, so this isn't a one and done sort of healing journey."Lingering scars from a difficult marriageKardashian shares four children with West and while she has worked to maintain stability for them, friends say she remains shaken by what she endured during her marriage. The insider described her as "very haunted" by her years with the rapper, adding: "If people knew what she truly endured with him they would understand why. He completely tormented her; he broke down her self-esteem and made her feel like she only had value because of him."According to those close to her, Kardashian's struggles went beyond emotional strain. She allegedly felt pressured to comply with West's unpredictable moods and shifting expectations, which left her feeling diminished. The source suggested that the compromises she made to keep him satisfied now weigh heavily on her, sometimes resurfacing in the form of nightmares.West's public battles add to the scrutinyWest, 48, has been no stranger to public controversy. Once open about a bipolar disorder diagnosis, he reversed course earlier this year, claiming that he had been misdiagnosed and asserting instead that he is autistic. His behavior, combined with inflammatory remarks in recent years, has fueled widespread criticism.The rapper has since remarried, tying the knot with Australian architect Bianca Censori in 2022. Their highly visible relationship has ensured that West remains a constant presence in the media, making it even harder for Kardashian to close the chapter on their shared past.Despite the emotional turmoil triggered by the documentary, Kardashian is determined to focus on her recovery. Hypnosis therapy, which uses relaxation and guided concentration to help process trauma, has become an essential tool in her wellness routine."She still gets nightmares - and it's all been triggered again by this documentary," the insider explained. "But the sessions are really helping."
