Victoria Beckham believes talking about her problems in therapy is "really healthy".
The Spice Girls star has revealed she's"happy" to be honest about having sought professional help over the years and admitted seeing a counsellor has given her the tools she needs to encourage her children to communicate properly.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Yes, I've had therapy. I think it’s really healthy. It’s something that’s so acceptable and positive to talk about out now.
"I'm happy to say I’ve had it. And the way we’ve brought up our kids is all about communication. It’s good to talk."
Victoria went on to reveal she and her husband David - who are parents to four children together - try to gather their family together every night for dinner and they ban phones in a bid to encourage conversation.
She said: "As a family we try to have dinner together every night - it’s phones down and: 'What has everyone done today?’Just making sure that it’s a safe forum for everybody to be honest and talk and laugh.
"We’re so much more aware of mental health these days, which is just so healthy."
Victoria has opened up about her life in the spotlight for her new self-titled Netflix documentary and she has compared talking about her past to therapy as it felt healing to relive old memories.
She added to the publication: "Doing the [Netflix] show was like therapy. It was emotional at times.
"There are certain things your mind has the amazing ability to forget because there were triggering things along the way.
"I went into this saying I didn’t want to talk about the Spice Girls because I’ve spent 20 years building this fashion brand. So I’m mindful I’ve been fighting these preconceptions that I’m just a celebrity face for 20 years.
"Only now do I feel I’ve earned my right to show in Paris. Now I can reflect and talk without worrying it’s going to affect my brand. I finally feel I don’t have anything to prove to anyone. I am enough."
In the documentary, Victoria opens up about her battle with an eating disorder - candidly admitting she became "very good at lying" about her health troubles, which she hid from her family.
She said: "When you have an eating disorder you become very good at lying and I was never honest about it with my parents.
"I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you’re being told constantly that you’re not good enough and I suppose that’s been with me my whole life."
