 In a way to help, Haney Hayes Promotions has gathered a list of possible triggers that may help you to decide just where your lines are and when or if you are crossing someone else's. This is not a full list-as we said it varies, but these are a good place to start! 

Content and Trigger Warnings

HHP recognizes that there is a far larger debate in the industry as to the lack of clarity regarding the semantics of these warnings.  As they are often used interchangeably. 

For the purposes of our guide, the intent is to provide people the agency to mentally prepare for their interactions with the content and to make choices about how and if to consent to engage. We encourage Authors to consider the level of distress the content is likely to elicit when determining if, when, and what type of warning they choose to provide to their readers.


CW

Content Warning

A Content Warning is a written or oral disclaimer that discloses that the content of the material may be intellectually or emotionally challenging. It may manifest feelings of discomfort, distress, and/or upset due to its sensitive nature.


TW 

Trigger Warning

A Trigger Warning is much like a Content Warning; however, relates specifically to Trauma Survivors.  The content contained may cause someone emotional distress, typically as a result of arousing feelings or memories associated with a particular traumatic experience.
