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 At our place we say content advice. It is not a warning and it is not a trigger, but rather advice that sensitive topics are coming up. Two reasons. One to not surprise students with sensitive stuff. Second is to remind them to be careful of those around them and think before they speak. But language such as warnings and triggers suggests these topics are something to be scared of, so worry, anxiety and fear should accompany them. Advice invites respect, for the topic and each other
