Bringing Up Bates' Katie Bates Clark is opening up about her four-day therapy intensive.

Katie's participation in the therapy program comes just one month after her husband, Travis Clark, admitted to cheating on her.

"Just wrapped up a four day therapy intensive," Katie wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, Mar. 2. "At some point I may share more, but for now I'm just really thankful for the experience and what I'm walking away with. I spent the past few days in both individual and couples therapy."

"It was hard. Emotional. Stretching in ways I didn't fully expect," she continued. "But it was also one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I'm leaving better than I came, and that alone feels like an answered prayer."

The 25-year-old first told her followers she was going to therapy on Feb. 25 amid the cheating scandal, noting she didn't "really feel equipped to handle something like this" on her own.

“This is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife. I had an affair and repeatedly broke her trust,” Travis wrote. “There is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my responsibility alone.”

“I know that words don’t begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of the hurt I’ve brought into her life, but I am truly sorry. I’m sorry for the pain, humiliation, and betrayal I caused my wife through my choices,” he continued. “I understand that an apology doesn’t repair what I broke, and forgiveness is not something I deserve or can ask for. I am taking responsibility by getting help and doing the work to change and become a more honest and accountable man, regardless of outcome. I ask for privacy and grace for Katie as she processes this in her own time.”

Katie also released a statement of her own, saying she and Travis are seeking counseling both together and individually, and that she is being supported by legal counsel. However, she added that it is her “heart’s desire” to “preserve” her marriage.
