Term used in therapy, mainly with war veterans with ptsd, referring to things that unconsciously cause them to relapse. In other words, "trigger" their trauma and temporarily relive their worst nightmares. And thing is, it made far more sense in that most triggers weren't planned out or even logical, it could be a car backfiring in the neighborhood (sounds a lot like a gun) or loud banging in the dead of night (sounds like enemy soldiers) that causes it to happen. And half the reason so much of it was emphasized was to help the patient try and rationalize themselves back to reality as well as make themselves and their loved ones aware what causes them to minimize the amount of episodes they have.
And then a bunch of pampered rich spoiled twerps who think bad words on the internet are destroying them emotionally co-opted the term to water it down to "anything that makes me feel bad", and now here we are.
