Do You Find Trigger Warnings Helpful
This is a question that my partner raised with me this week
Since I write for mental health, my partner asked me about this after seeing an episode of Bill Maher when he was complaining about trigger warnings.
So, here is my latest blog post about the topic. It appears there are at least 12 new research studies suggesting trigger warnings may not be actually helping.
Are trigger warnings actually helpful
What do you think? What kind of content do you think should have a trigger warning? I have used them in the past and will probably continue to do so unless I get any kind of negative feedback about using them.
There is word on some college campuses that even seeing the words trigger warning can be triggering for some people.
I want my writing to be helpful and uplifting, and not to do any kind of harm to someone, so I want to make sure that I am reaching you guys in a way that is helpful and not harmful.
Let me know what you guys think, and how you want me to do things here on the newsletter!
Have a great week,
Nicole Dake
