Khloé Kardashian is back in therapy — at sister Kim’s insistence — after a “jarring” experience nearly turned her off from the practice for good.

“I stopped going to therapy and started going to the gym. I needed a release, but I did not trust anybody else anymore,” the Good American co-founder, 40, shared.

“The place that I felt the safest was the gym,” explained Khloé, who has previously said “working out is my therapy.”

“She was like, ‘You really need to be here,’ ” she told Bustle. “It all worked out.”
