"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" First Look - Since Bravo's reality television show, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 started, it has been filled with a lot of tears and sneers. And this week's episode 17 will be no exception.

Prior to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 Episode 17, last week's episode 16 gave a glimpse of an intensifying show as the Housewives seek professional help for their ongoing drama. According to International Business Times, NeNe Leakes gathered the ladies to reveal she had booked a therapy session for the group.

Because of several broken friendships, Leakes took the initiative hoping that therapy would allow the Housewives to work through their issues and possibly bring the group back together. However, Kandi Burruss was not eager about the idea.

In an exclusive "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 Episode 17 sneak peek, Cocoa Fab learned that some wounds run deeper than what the viewers had thought as the Housewives prepare to seek out an expert's advice for their continuing misunderstandings. And as Leakes decides to push through with her plans, a fresh dispute looms that will spark reopening of old wounds and unresolved issues.

In "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 Episode 17, a confrontation between two longtime friends is expected. IBTimes revealed when Kandi learned that Phaedra Parks has been discussing her lack of support among the other Housewives, she promptly decides to confront the issue. And as they settled for an intense talk, Kandi demands to know why Phaedra didn't come directly to her.

Aside from the therapy sessions and confrontations, a new career may be just round the corner for one housewife in "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 Episode 17. As shared by CarterMatt, Claudia Jordan will be facing her fears and try her luck at stand-up comedy. While NeNe and Cynthia Bailey will remain at odds with each other.

"Searching for a new purpose in life, Claudia decides to pursue standup comedy but quickly realizes she is in over her head," the show's official synopsis reads. "Phaedra breaks down to NeNe about her declining relationship with Kandi. While Kandi pays her an emotional visit in hopes of deciphering what went wrong. NeNe gets the ladies together for an evening of therapy with Dr. Jeff, but things quickly go awry forcing NeNe to storm out of the session and leaving all the ladies puzzled."

So, is it safe to assume the therapy session was unsuccessful and has blown up? Meanwhile, don't miss the intense drama on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 Episode 17 on Sunday at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
