• Kelsea Ballerini is working on her mental health and is focusing on staying single.
  • The singer admitted to recently doing 27 hours of therapy across three days so she can have “a better understanding” of herself.
  • The marathon therapy sessions come amid her recent breakup with Chase Stokes.

It’s been a little hard to keep up with Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes’s relationship timeline, but the most recent update is that the pair is no longer together and the singer is now super dedicated to working on healing herself. In fact, Kelsea is so committed to getting better that she did a massive therapy speed run following her and Chase’s most recent split.

“I just did a three-day intensive in Dallas, like, nine hours of therapy every day,” she said during her appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on April 17.

According to Kelsea, the extended therapy session gave her “a better understanding of myself and why I am a people pleaser.” She added, “I'm learning that about myself. I think in this chapter of my life, again, I'm kind of like, ‘You know what, I don't want to give anyone else the power to tell me how I should feel about myself or my choices or the life that I choose to lead.’”

And despite being single, Kelsea explained that she’s feeling happier than she ever has. “I'm loving this chapter of life just because I really feel like I'm being really intentional about connecting to myself,” she told the hosts.

Struggling to remember why Kelsea and Chase broke up this time around? A source the Daily Mail in February that things fell apart “around the New Year” due to Chase's “continued jealousy.”

“As much as she wants a life with him, it just felt like he didn't want a future that would involve kids, marriage and the whole package,” the insider explained. “She didn't want that right now, but she wanted it eventually, and she just realized he wasn't on the same page.” Chase's jealousy issues became “off-putting” for Kelsea to deal with, and ultimately, “As much as there is love there, [the breakup] had to happen.”

Though the source confirmed that there was no cheating, there was “a lot of misguided control that [Ballerini] felt [Stokes] tried to get or take from her while also trying to ride her coattails.”

In short, there’s a very slim chance that Kelsea and Chase will get back together. “If for some reason he changes, there might be another chance. But she's doubtful and is trying to accept the breakup she never wanted. She had to listen to her doubts, finally, and take back control.”
