Therapy is a beautiful, messy godsend, as Tamra Judge is now finding out. During the premiere episode of Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Tamra took us all into a therapy session. It was emotional, as Tamra is now digging deep to heal from many tough life situations that she has endured. Here is how her first aired breakout therapy session went on RHOC.
RHOC’s Tamra Judge cried all week leading up to her next therapy session
During the RHOC Season 19 premiere, the tears started flowing down her cheeks as soon as Tamra arrived at her therapist’s office. “I have been crying since last week’s session,” she said, explaining that her already four months spent in therapy, “talking about stuff that I don’t wanna talk about” was taking a dramatic emotional toll on her heart.
“My sensory issues [feel] heightened,” Tamra continued, noting that her intrusive thoughts are out of control right now.” Her doctor then chimed in, helpfully reminding Tamra that they had “talked about unprocessed trauma and whether or not” her being on the spectrum might be a part of why she felt as she did. However, her emotional feelings are difficult to diagnose until she completes an assessment, her doctor further explained.
For now, Tamra has to put in the work. “I realized that you have to dig up those things that get buried deep inside of you because those are the things that come out when you get angry,” she explained in a confessional. And on this note, Tamra then detailed her former custody battle with her ex, the public’s backlash over her aired antics, her estranged relationship with her daughter, and her fears of letting people inside her heavily guarded internal walls.
It was emotional. However, big emotions are a part of the healing process.
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Bravo, Thursday nights at 9/8c. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
