Katie Bates has revealed she entered an intensive therapy program in the wake of husband Travis Clark's cheating scandal.

The 25-year-old Bringing Up Bates star made the admission in a now-expired Instagram Story posted over the weekend.

Clark confessed to cheating on his wife of four years in January, one day after she'd publicly revealed she suffered a miscarriage.

The couple share daughter Hailey, three, and son Harvey, 15 months.

'I’ve wanted to come on here and say something for a while but I honestly haven’t really known how to put words to any of this,' she told her 595,000 followers on Sunday, per an Us Weekly account.

'This year didn’t start how I thought it would. It’s been really heavy and emotional in ways I wasn’t prepared for. Some days I feel okay and steady and other days it’s hard to even leave the house.'

She shared, 'I’m getting ready to attend my first four-day therapy intensive. I don’t really feel equipped to handle something like this on my own, so getting help feels important.'

The mom-of-two continued, 'I know I can’t pour into anything else well if I’m not actually working through this in a healthy way.

'Being mom to Hailey and Harvey and finding little pieces of normal life again has been so grounding for me. 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.'
