Chihiro’s parents are under the influence of spirit magic that makes them act strangely and this leads to them being pretty negligent and awful to Chihiro. It’s unclear how much of their behavior is a result of the spell and how much is their personality traits. They plan to leave her on her own in the car in the middle of nowhere while they go explore but she follows them only because she’s scared, so I’d argue that that’s abandonment.

Chihiro is no older than 13, and she is working for the bathhouse. This is child labor and could be considered child abuse.

When No-Face is chasing after Chihiro, he breaks down some doors and they fall onto some of the bathhouse employees, then he steps on top of the doors to get to Chihiro. We don’t see the employees again but they’re assumed to be fine.

Spirits turn humans into pigs for livestock. Someone briefly talks about cooking the protagonist at 41:36. A humanoid spirit eats a few other humanoid spirits but vomits them up and they're fine by the end of the movie.

There is no amputation - there are three heads without bodies that just sort of ... bounce around. I don't think decapitation is implied - they're just three magical bouncing heads.

No parents die, but the child is separated from her parents for the majority of the movie, giving her that "I'm alone and my parents aren't here" sort of feeling that can be difficult for some children.

The most claustrophobic scene I can think of would be when Chihiro is in a pretty small elevator with a big spirit, so she's squished up against the wall with not a lot of room.

The very young protagonist is panicking and uses her fists to thump the sides of her head, mid-level of force, to “wake up” from the “dream” she thinks she’s experiencing. It reminds me of when I used to do it, and children watching or previous self-harmers might be upset or driven to mimic.
