The former Bringing Up Bates cast member revealed that she has begun intensive therapy one month after her husband, Travis Clark, admitted to cheating on her shortly after Katie lost her pregnancy.
On February 23, Katie wrote on her Instagram Stories, "This year didn't start as I expected. I've wanted to say something on here for a long time, but I honestly don't know how to put it all into words. It's been extremely emotional and weighty in ways I hadn't expected. There are days when I feel stable and fine, and other days when I struggle to leave the house at all.
She continued, "I'm just trying to take it one day at a time, but I do want to express my gratitude." The affection, prayers, and messages I've received have meant more than I can explain. I don't always know how to respond, but please know I see it, and I'm grateful."
The 25-year-old, who has two children with Travis, Hailey, 2, and Harvey, 16 months, went on to explain why she is enrolling in the therapy program.
"I'm getting ready to attend my first four-day therapy intensive," Katie told me. "I don't feel prepared to handle something like this on my own, so getting help feels important. I know I can't put anything else into it unless I work through this in a healthy way."
"Being a mother to Hailey and Harvey, as well as regaining some normalcy in my life, has been extremely grounding for me," she continued. "I'm not very good at expressing my emotions, so this probably feels scattered, but I'm trying to lean on God, and He has brought me so much comfort."
Katie expressed her gratitude to her followers while indicating that she may limit her personal shares in the future as she navigates a difficult time following her husband Travis's admission of infidelity. In a message, she thanked her supporters for their kindness, acknowledging the impact it has had on her during this challenging period. Travis had earlier revealed on Instagram that he had been unfaithful, describing his actions as a personal failure and expressing deep remorse for the pain he caused Katie. In response to his betrayal, Katie confirmed that their marriage had suffered significantly but expressed hope in preserving their relationship. She mentioned that they are working through their issues privately with professional counsel and emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating that it is not a quick or easy process and not one she is taking lightly.
