In reply to what does 'trigger' mean, posted by asmita on March 1, 2006, at 6:33:59
...a few years ago.
I was told that some topics (like descriptions of abuse, assault, self-mutilation, horrific events, etc) can trigger uncomfortable, disruptive memories, feelings, and desires (like self-mutilation) in some people. "Trigger" in the subject line is a warning to them.
Maybe this could be added to the FAQs?
