The actress has been candid about the incredible bond she shares with her teen, which includes a really impressive dedication to growth and mental health. Last year, Alba opened up to Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt during the Instagram series Before, During & After Baby and explained that she’s gone to therapy with Honor.
“Like my 13-year-old, I’m struggling with not treating her like a little [kid]— I want to treat them all like babies,” she said. “I want to baby them. Still, my tendency is to parent them as if they are little. I started going to therapy with her I think when she was 11. For me it was really out of, I felt like my relationship really suffered with my parents because they didn’t know how to communicate with me and how I needed to be parented. So I didn’t want that breakdown with Honor so we went to therapy together.”
Alba added in an interview with PEOPLE that she hopes to “destigmatize” the idea of mother-daughter therapy. “It really is: How can I show up as a mom for my kids and be the best parent for her?… There really isn’t one sort of recipe that works across the board. I just wanted to be able to show up for her,” she said.
