Books that contain triggering content

Good that you're being watchful but like the gym thread, I think we have to accept that triggers are going to pop up. Getting too worried might create anxiety tension - when you do come across them you can skim over and/or just 'name it' 'oh there's triggering material' to detach from the emotional reaction.

 

It would be a shame to throw away all the useful bits in that book because of some random triggers. Like people above me have said, you can't control every single trigger in the world, so no use overthinking about it. Accept the stuff you cannot control and don't throw away the good because of some bad.

Good topic because triggering books are really common, I'm always shocked by how triggering content appears in such random genres... you really never expect it coming
but here's how I mostly deal with it; I'll keep reading the book even if I know it contains some triggering content, I'll skip the parts that doesn't suit my morals and take what will add value to my life, or just continue reading it because it makes me laugh.
