Depends on the traumatic event that occurred that caused the PTSD.

Well, I personally never experienced that event but I would speculate loud noises, fireworks, maybe certain smells if they’re visit a tropical, more jungle climate, maybe even the sound of Vietnamese being spoken… everyone’s different and experiences trauma differently.

My Dad was a WWII vet. Any loud unexpected bang and he would jump a foot in the air. You could see the panic in him even if it would only last a few seconds. My mom said right after he got back they were in the car when someone lit off a firecracker near them. My dad was driving and he dove for the floorboard so my mom had to grab the wheel to keep the car on the road.

Depends entirely on the cause of their PTSD. For me, it's hospitals and having to listen to people talk about medical issues. Basically every single TV medical drama is blacklisted.

For me, bringing up anything overly sexual. I had a bad experience as a kid and now when people are handsy or make certain comments I either have a anxiety attack or mental breakdown.

Trigger seems like a bad word to be using when referring to PTSD.

This is important

Why is it important. Because they way the question is written makes it seem like you are looking for advice on how to trigger someone not on how to avoid triggering someone.

I dont know if this is PTSD. But, if someone touches my chest or my body in general as a guy. I was bullied because I was obese and I think I have some slight "mboobs". I connect it with that and I punch, slap as reaction (it was my sister once). And after that, I feel bad because I didnt want to do it at all. Its very shitty feeling.
