We're discussing #TriggerWarnings today. I know a bit about the recent empirical literature & evidence, & want to make sure pro-TW viewpoints are reflected in our discussions as well. Can you help out?

I'm particular interested in TWs in the context of clinical psych masters. Specifically
1) why should TWs be included
2) how should they look like
3) what is their exact function

Thanks!

@eikofried I think the comment you got on the birdsite was excellent: I think a good pro-warning approach avoids the trauma-specific language of "trigger" & uses something like CW (ha!) and views it more as an issue of consent/choice or even convenience.

Seconding this. To me, CWs are about consent.
