Re: What are triggers?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-03 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
It is something that "triggers" a strong emotional response or "triggers" certain behaviors, often used in correlation with traumatic experiences or disordered behavior (rape is a common trigger, self injury or eating disorders are disorders that have many common triggers).

The experience you describe could be a trigger, but it depends on your own emotional response. Generally speaking there is more than just a simple response, but something that effects you beyond simply watching the show.

For example, watching shows with certain themes can trigger certain emotions that can send a person into trumoil. Perhaps triggering their disordered behavior of self injury where they were fine before the incident. Often people online talk about triggers sending them into flashbacks, shakes, vomiting, hysteria, etc.
