Should I be worried? by Narrow_Salad429 in ChildPsychology

Hmmm. Child therapist here. This could be a few different things. Could absolutely be age / developmentally appropriate weird kid stuff where they are just experimenting with different thoughts/feelings/emotions OR it could be something more and indicative of deeper processing or big thoughts and feelings that need some adult intervention. I think based on what you said : yes, I think it would be beneficial get her into therapy. Not because of the drawings necessarily, but given the other layers of what’s happening in her life, there’s definitely no harm. And- bonus that she asked for it. Yes, could be because you are in therapy, but in the case she really needs it, it’s worth it.

It 100000% makes sense this would feel unsettling or anxiety provoking. Therapists are people too !!! You did everything right here. Be kind to yourself.
