Kim Kardashian Turning to Hypnosis to Deal With PTSD From Tumultuous 8-Year Marriage to Kanye West

Reality babe Kim Kardashian is being forced to relive her nightmare past as a new documentary about her ex-husband Kanye West rips the lid off the anguish she experienced during her eight-year marriage to the rapper — and now the billionaire has secretly turned to hypnosis in a bid to put the trauma behind her.

“Kim’s used hypnosis in the past as part of her therapy, and she does find it helps,” an insider says. “Unfortunately, the scars from Kanye are very deep, so this isn’t a one and done sort of healing journey.”

The Skims mogul, 44, shares kids North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with the “Gold Digger” rapper, 48, who she divorced in 2022.

Now, the documentary In Whose Name? gives a look behind the scenes of the former couple’s relationship, including a moment in 2019 when tearful Kim says, “Your personality was not like this a few years ago.”

As Globe previously reported, the Yeezy designer, who’s triggered backlash for past antisemitic remarks, had revealed he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a mental health condition often marked by extreme mood swings, on his 2018 album Ye. But in February, Kanye announced during an appearance on Justin Laboy’s podcast “The Download” that was a mistake and claimed he actually has autism.

The hitmaker got hitched again in 2022 to Aussie Bianca Censori, who’s frequently served as his barely dressed arm candy.

Still, the insider says Kim remains “very haunted” by her relationship with Kanye, and adds, “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.”

The insider further confides, “The things she went along with in the bedroom just to try to keep him happy make her sick. And then there’s the years of dealing with his shifting moods and his deteriorating mental health.”

“She still gets nightmares — and it’s all been triggered again by this documentary.”

However, the insider says Kim is determined to heal — and may even ramp up her twice-a-week hypnosis sessions because they’re “really helping.”
