All of my books contain potentially triggering material.
Please be aware the below information could be considered spoilers!
Main themes: potentially triggering content discussed on page, multiple times throughout the story, crucial to the current plot and/or character arcs.
Minor mentions: potentially triggering content mentioned but not discussed in great detail, or having less direct/more vague impact, but still related to plot and characters (e.g. backstory that directly influences the current plot trajectory).
In passing: potentially triggering material that is mentioned briefly, but has less influence over the current plot or character arcs (but may still affect the characters and influence their behavior, just to a lesser degree); or ‘small’ things that could still be potentially triggering (e.g. medical scenes, injury, character being sick, etc.).
