Whitney Rose opened up about past trauma
The reality star has been open and honest about her mental health and in the latest episode she found out that she had been abused as a child.
Whitney received this news from her half-brother Will who had been doing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), a form of memory recall therapy that helps to look deep inside your past.
Talking about her phone conversation with her husband, Justin Rose, Whitney revealed her brother recalled she had been abused as a child. However, the reality star noted she had no recollection of this and gave no suggestion about who could have been responsible.
Reality star opens up in her confessional
During her confessional, Whitney admitted that for a long time she had been trying to put the pieces together to understand what had happened to her in childhood as she was on a healing journey.
However, all her attempts had been unsuccessful as she was unable to look back into her past.
In her confessional, she said: “All of those memories that I suppressed are all flowing through me now. And there’s just so much pain. I’m feeling so much pain and so much anger. And it just feels very overwhelming to take this all on right now.”
