Victoria Beckham has described filming her Netflix documentary as "a year's intense therapy."

The 52-year-old star shared her story in the three-part docuseries last October, and she admitted looking back on her life was a unique experience.

Speaking recently at the Time100 Summit in New York City, Victoria said: "It was like a year's intense therapy, if I can be honest.”

"Because I always live in the present, and I'm always looking forward,” she added.

The Spice Girls legend turned fashion icon noted that she's finally able to recognise how far she's come after "being told no" for so long.

She explained, "I realised that I've spent most of my life being told no, being told that I'm not good enough for whatever reason, ever since I was young and I was at school. And every time I've been knocked, I've got back up again...”

“I'm really proud of myself after all these years, and I never thought that I would say that,” the former singer added.

Despite finding herself in a unique position with the documentary, she "quite enjoyed the process."

"I always say that I went into the process a control freak and came out a reformed control freak because I didn't have that much control,” Victoria Beckham said of refining herself.
