While I might not suffer from PTSD – for which trigger warnings are essential – I appreciated the heads up.
But while there is a growing demand for trigger warnings – and viewers themselves are flagging triggering scenes for others online – they are still controversial.
The new fourth series of The Crown – which starts on Sunday – will include trigger warnings before episodes depicting Princess Diana’s battle with bulimia, as well as details of how to seek help if required.
Some say trigger warnings can make us more stressed because they put us on high alert. But that’s not really the point.
