Selena Gomez is not quite ready to relive certain parts of her life.

In an exclusive interview with E! News, the Only Murders in the Building actress' mom, Mandy Teefey, revealed that she and her daughter have "both agreed" not to watch her upcoming documentarySelena Gomez: My Mind & Me.

"It's something that I feel, ‘cause I did a little interview in it, and I didn't really want to do a lot," Teefey shared at the Paw Works Animal Rescue "Ties and Tails Gala" Oct. 29. "And it kind of just put me in a headspace that you just don't want to revisit after you've grown through so much."

She added, "So, when the time comes, and I feel like I'm ready to watch it, I'll watch it. But what I've seen of it, it's beautiful."

While Gomez is set to share an in-depth look into her years-long mental health struggles in the documentary, Teefey detailed how she helped the singer through her bouts of depression and anxiety.

"I was able, as a parent, to be able to be supportive and alongside my husband and all of our friends," she told E! News. "So, being educated on that and being able to be a support system—they have to really go through it and understand it themselves. As much as you want to understand it for them."
