After watching an emotional interview segment, the speakers discuss how to warn listeners about traumatic content. They decided to use a distressing moment as the trigger warning itself, and researched compassionate language to alert people honestly but gently.

You ready?
I am. I'm ready.
That was good. Okay.
I got tissues. Got tissues at the ready.
Yeah, I listened to Carrie's part 1 today.
Yeah, it was good stuff, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Made me tear up and I did the interview.
Amanda and I were talking about that this morning and I asked her how you held up and she said beautifully. You held up beautifully. Yeah.
Yeah. I thought I was right proud of you because these aren't easy discussions, and potentially we'll get into discussions today that are likewise not easy. I think that when I was preparing for Kari's, at some point in the conversation you go on and she starts talking about the terrible things that she went through, and then you stop and you say, hey, Amanda, You know, we might need to add a trigger warning. Well, I just cut that. It was so perfectly right. I just cut that and used that as the trigger warning. But also, I did research just language. How would we simply be nice to our people and just say, "Hey, some of the content in here will be hard to hear, but it is necessary that we talk about these things." not only as human beings, men and women, but specifically and earnestly as the church. And now I don't wanna take away from that, but there's no way to pretend that in this story that I don't already know a little bit of what we might get into, right? And so I just feel really honored to get the opportunity to have real and impactful conversations.
[Speaker:JANE] Mm-hmm. [Speaker:NEIL T. ANDERSON] Mm-hmm.
Yeah, and, and there's a lot of ways to do that, and so yay!
