What is a trigger really? You may have noticed the current trend of offering a trigger warning before content you are about to absorb. Maybe it has made you pause, or potentially even avoid that content altogether, but what good does that really do you?  Today we are talking about how a trigger warning differs from a true trauma response disclaimer, and why I choose NOT to issue trigger warnings in my own work. It’s a controversial topic for sure! Join me to hear the reasons why I think these warnings are more harmful than helpful.

We’re exploring:

• What a trigger warning is and why people use them
• The true definition of triggers and how we can see them as an opportunity for growth
• How offering trauma warnings in certain situations can still be necessary
• The foundational skill of feeling uncomfortable and activated but not act
• When it is useful or necessary to graphically describe trauma vs times we can/should leave it out
• Your right as a leader to be honest about where you come from and the challenges you have overcome.  

And so much more!!
