The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 Episode 1 saw Tamra Judge visiting a therapist. When asked whether she was ready, Tamra responded with a no. When the therapist asked her about her emotions, she said she had been crying since the previous week. It was because she had been talking about the "stuff" she didn't want to talk about.

In her private confession, Tamra shared:

"I realize that you have to dig up those things that are buried deep inside of you, because those are the things that come out when you get angry."

There was a flashback clip from four months prior, in which Andy Cohen asked Tamara about her decision to start therapy. He asked her about her goals with the therapy.

"Find out where anger stems from," she responded.

At the therapy session, Tamra confessed to the cameras about her struggles.

"The custody battle that my ex put me through, my daughter leaving me, you know, my dad leaving us. You know, it's hard. And I never really wanted to do it, and here I am."

She told her therapist that her sensory issues were heightened. She also mentioned her "intrusive thoughts" being "out of control."

Further in the session, she also recalled being criticized by many listeners for what she shared in her podcast. She said it was "very hurtful." She got emotional while opening up about her struggles.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star also talked about her daughter. She admitted not getting a chance from her.

"Yeah, she just never even really gave me a chance. And most of the time, I can bury it," said Tamra.

As the therapist mentioned relationships and people close to her, Tamra said she was "afraid" to get close to anyone. The reason was that she believed that they might "turn" on her. That was why she was keeping a "wall up" and wasn't nurturing her friendships.

Tamra Judge also discussed her struggles with trusting people and other topics during her session.
