Call the Midwife is one of my all-time favorite shows! And I can see how the episode you talked about could have been triggering: It was very intense! Personally, I can see why publishers don't add trigger warnings to books. They might not want to spoil the book for readers who might not be triggered. But I can definitely see your position. As someone who suffers from VERY MILD anxiety (I have a mild case of OCD, and I've had one anxiety attack), minor things can be triggering. For example, in Lord of the Flies and If I Stay, the graphic description of brains was extremely triggering for me. Maybe publishers could add a TW page in the front/back of the book. That way people with anxiety can look at the page and see if it's something they can read without being triggered, and people who don't can skip over the page. Great discussion! I love your videos! :)
Yay, high five! Yeah it really was, I mean I should be used to it by now from CtM but I'm really not! Yeah I can understand that, I feel bad even telling people in videos what books have trigger warnings so I always try to say if it's a spoilery one. Oh no, I definitely feel for you with the anxiety as that's what I suffer with. My friend has a similar issue with body parts and those kinds of things, although she doesn't have panic attacks, she faints, which is awful for her. That's a really great idea, I hadn't thought of that! Thank you very much, I'm so glad you enjoy them!:)
