Trigger Warnings: Are They Helping or Hurting?

Trigger warnings, they found, increased people's perceived emotional vulnerability to trauma. They also increased people's belief that trauma survivors are vulnerable.
Trigger warnings are everywhere these days, but do they actually help trauma survivors, or could they be doing more harm than good? In this episode of 'Healing Harmonies', Cordelia dives into the origins and effects of trigger warnings. Initially designed to protect survivors of sexual trauma in online communities, these warnings have become a staple in many areas of life. However, recent studies suggest that trigger warnings might increase feelings of vulnerability rather than provide the intended protection.
Cordelia doesn't dismiss the value of trigger warnings outright but encourages listeners to confront triggering content with the guidance of a therapist. This episode is packed with research findings and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with trauma or supporting someone who is. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate these emotional landmines safely.
