Multiple characters leave within this episode, including major younger character who does not say goodbye, but rather apologizes. One major character says goodbye, but the main person is (Major Innie Character) who leaves without saying goodbye, putting in a resignation request due to trauma and heartbreak encountered while on the job.

a character leaves her baby under the watch of someone she wholeheartedly believes she can trust. the one watching the baby leaves the house without the baby, and the mother is shown screaming and panicking when she realizes her baby can't be found. shortly afterwards, the baby is found perfectly safe in a spare bedroom. not necessarily "abandonment", but still worth mentioning.

In addition to an adult character's father insulting her, a character begs parents not to "punish" their newborn. They didn't seem to have any intention of doing so, but it could be triggering to some.

S2 E4 there is a weird, disfigured/decomposing dead animal that characters stumble upon about 15 minutes into the episode.
It’s hard to recognize as an animal at first (I thought it was petrified wood for much of it). It’s identified as possibly a seal but no one is certain.
It’s more gross and unsettling than emotionally distressing for the wellbeing of a living being. There are some closeups of the carcass at the end of the scene.

Mark has a medical procedure that causes his hand to tremble in a manner that is reminiscent of seizure activity.
As someone with epilepsy, I find the transitions between innie and outie to be reminiscent of the sensation of having a focal seizure.

a character performs an operation in which they slowly insert a long syringe into a bloody hole in the back of another character's skull. it depends on your definition of "excessive", but, in my mind, "excessive" means "slasher film", which this show very much is not. although the surgery *is* shown in detail, and is gross on purpose, nobody is getting maimed or killed, or even feeling pain at all.

Not quite a ghost since it’s in a dream, but creepy nonetheless. Character dreams about being in the office and sees the gaunt bride he was told about in the campfire story typing in the cube diagonal from him. After he sees writing on his computer screen, it flips back to him in the chair and the bride (looking pretty Gollum/exorcist-like) appears over his shoulder in a jump scare.

No. Not DID depicted, but is to do with plurality/multiplicity (and some systems may find triggering, especially programmed systems). Show is about a technology that purposely causes a split. The person who purposely goes through with this procedure is called an Outie, and the new alter is called an Innie. Neither are allowed to know basically anything about eachothers life.

No but there are some potential triggers:

- a dinner party where no one eats as a sort of meditative/philosophical experience
- extreme hunger in a survival set up
- having someone else picking out your clothes for you
- feeding/breathing style tubes
- parties based around an excessive display of one particular type of foodstuff
- a suspicious character baking and those baked goods being eaten

Content warnings are provided onscreen beforehand for the episodes where flashing is present, but those warnings are there for actually most of them. I personally didn't find any of it very extreme — I didn't even notice it most of the time, I couldn't tell you where the flashing was in half the episodes that had warnings — but I'm not especially photosensitive.

Summary of important points:
- Mark meets the girl he was on a date with once at the lodge his sister is staying.
- Her husband mentioned the book he gave him and is hurt that he hasn't gotten back to him about it. Mark is confused because he doesn't know what he means, he never got a book.

- Phone in Mark's basement keeps ringing from a blocked number.
- Mark sits outside by the water, getting a quick flashback from Petey's death.

The innies are described as being like children. Dylan asks if his outtie is "dumb." Nothing that would be considered traditional ableist language.

In the show there is people who spread hate about those that have got the Severance proceedure.
This may be triggering to intentional / created plural systems, such as parogenics, etc.

Expanding on the other commenter’s statement, I’m going to say yes. Mark S and Helena’s physical age is similar, but technically Outie Helena is 30-something and Innie Mark S is like, a few years old. Innies do seem to retain some general knowledge that separates them from children but they are still very naive and innocent in many ways, which is part of what makes what Helena did to Mark S so icky.

S2E6 - a character says that they were lead to being severed by Jesus. He says he attended church and the sermon was about how “innies” have separate souls from “outies” and therefore an “innie” could get into heaven even if their “outie” didn’t. This compels him to sever at a chance to get his “innie” into heaven, since he thinks his “outie” wouldn’t get in.

This is complicated, but the person who has sex is experiencing it for the first time. We later find out it was non-consensual as the person was deceived.

Not exactly a relationship, but in the fourth episode of the second season there is a story told of two twin brothers who go out into the woods, and one of them m*st*rbates in front of the other. Nothing actually happens between the brothers, but it might be uncomfortable or possibly triggering for survivors of incest

Two characters are seen briefly in bed together after sex (towards the end of episode 6) and there's a rather disturbing scene with suggestive outfits and dancing (2/3 through episode 8), but there is no explicit sex. Not a lot of references to it, either.

the whole premise of the show does heavily rely on people temporarily forgetting large parts of their memories (not caused by dementia/Alzheimer) though, so i could see how it could be triggering

the overall premise of the show ponders what it means to truly be "you", and the different versions of ourselves we portray in different environments. the topic is regularly discussed in-universe as well.

at the time of writing, there's only been one season, so there isn't really an ending yet, but season one's finale ends with a lot of ambiguity and mixed emotions.

A main character runs in front of a car to prevent the person driving from leaving. There is a tense moment between them before the driver begins screaming and slamming the horn and starts to drive forwards anyways. The other character moves out of the way and is unharmed.
