Pete Davidson in Trauma Therapy Due to Kanye West

So, this is one of those “What the heck is wrong with people” moments. Pete Davidson announces he is in trauma therapy, in part for abuses on social media from Kanye West around Pete and Kim’s relationship. While it’s considered bad form, even unethical, to try to diagnose people’s mental health issues, without actually sitting down with them, there are some things worth noting here.

First of all, bravo, Pete! Thanks for talking about your issues and that you seek out therapy to help get better.  The more people are out there talking about mental health, which is HEALTH CARE, then the more normalized therapy becomes. If we get more people being emotionally healthy then we all benefit from a society with emotionally healthy people.

Second, it’s not hard to project what Kanye might be going through emotionally. It’s hard enough to navigate relationships, then add superstardom on top of that and things can get crushingly difficult. When former partners move on, there is usually some amount of pain there for whoever gets left behind. Taking our emotional pain out on anyone else is unhealthy and keeps people trapped in pain and dysfunction, as well as piling on new pain or even trauma.

Hopefully, Kanye will take a page out of Pete’s playbook and seek some therapy to help process what is underlying his social media antics and help himself reconnect with the best version of himself. This might help open up his creativity, which after all, is Kanye’s best self.
