I appreciate this but in my field of work, i need to deal with trigger warnings - as part of educating and advocating especially when it comes to writing on terms such as trauma, death, it comes organically - and while it may not work, i think it delves deeper into my "why". I think shadow work - would be able to help me in overcoming those triggers for the end outcome.
Not sure about this. In this day and age where there is a lot of content designed to shock. I would appreciate a trigger warning. I've had the experience too many times where something starts out wholesome and sweet. Then without warning something horrific and terrible is introduced. And this seems very intentional. I am very sensitive to something especially in media. And I use trigger warnings to skip things that would hurt me. Yes there is some stress from the trigger warning. But there is more stress from having something horrific dumped on you without any warning at all. As an adult I have the ability and the right to choose what I expose myself to. And I shouldn't have to be put at risk in someone's attempt to be entertaining.
I’m one year late so there’s a chance you’re not even gonna read this, if you do, hey! I see were you’re coming from, at the same time you’re also highlighting why trigger warnings shouldn’t be a thing: avoidance isn’t good and it certainly isn’t a solution. Avoiding trauma leads to PDSD. That’s a reason why scientists say trigger warnings are not only not helping they’re harmful. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable; it’s necessary to get over your trauma.
I dont think this video understands what trigger warnings are. They arent meant to say "hey you might get sad, if you hate getting sad, stop reading!" Theyre meant to inform readers of what kinds of topics will be written about in the story, specifically for people who are sensitive to particular traumas, usually because they were the victims of them in the past. You mention "were finding that people get distressed by the trigger warning" and that feels bizarre to me. Who's "we" and where has it been made clear that people who run into trigger warnings are upset by them other than people who object to the need of the warnings.

Well said 🖖
Exactly. Unadulterated snowflakes shouldn't be considered the norm.
