There is a mention of 'breeding' by an alien race using captives. It is brief and easy to miss. It is later clarified that this does not involve sexual assault, but it may be triggering none the less. This is mentioned each time the Gorn are a part of the story.

So...the season hasn't ended yet, as of writing this. But because this is a show about Captain Pike, you should know going in that references to being burned alive are going to come up. The character Pike knows that at some point in the future he's going to be badly burned and significantly disabled - we see flashes of what he thinks that's going to look like - mainly his very burn-scarred face.

There is the classic Trek trope of “we are unknowingly torturing aliens that we don’t know about”, but I wouldn’t consider this a depiction of torture in the sense of the question.

Season 1, Episode 3. A guy violently smashes his head through a glass light. Other characters attempt to self-harm in this episode but in more fantastical sci-fi type ways, this is I believe the only realistic one.
