Thank you for writing this. It is excellent and touches on a topic very important for me that has been very frustrating. I have PTSD and I get extremely angry when I hear people casually throw it around because their cat scratched their sofa! And the word "triggered" is not only misused, it has been weaponized. The son of a certain "political figure" who's name will never receive the dignity of me saying it, wrote a book entitled: "Triggered" to chastise the people who disagreed politically with him and his daddy.
