How to Know If Your Child Needs Therapy During Divorce (5 Common Signs)


Listen Later

Divorce is hard—but wondering whether your child is really okay can feel overwhelming.

In this episode, we talk about one of the biggest fear areas for moms navigating divorce and co-parenting: How to know if your child needs therapy—and how to support them without overreacting or spiraling.

We cover:

  • The difference between normal divorce-related emotions and signs your child may need extra support

  • Common behavioral and emotional patterns to pay attention to (and what not to panic about)

  • When therapy can be helpful—and when it may actually do more harm than good

  • How to support your child without making them feel broken or responsible for adult emotions

  • How to stay involved, informed, and grounded as a parent

This episode is for moms quietly asking: Am I missing something? What if therapy is being weaponized? How do I protect my child without making things worse?

If you’re trying to make thoughtful, calm decisions for your child during an already emotional season, this conversation will help you feel more confident and less alone 💙
