Tabitha, thanks for the heads-up

Well, I'm triggered by realistic violence, but Tarantino's stuff just makes me laugh, it's so over the top!

But a scene from a movie where they are cooking and they slip with the knife? Or a movie where they are filing and they get a paper cut from one of those manilla file folders. That makes me wince.

I have major problems with children's movies too. Very triggering. They never bothered me until I was 27 years old. WTF? My T says it's because animation, puppets, claymation movies are so unreal that we allow them access to our minds. They bypass the normal circuits for understanding social interactions, becuase their voices and faces are so unreal. Rather than use our normal mechanisms for recognizing and processing scenes, we use the part of our minds that is suited to fantasy and imagination. And this part of MY mind can quickly go to very scary places. On screen, a dragon is kidnapping a princess. In my mind, I have a really gruesome scene that I cannot escape or control. Does this make ANY sense?
