Personally, I avoid dramatic films and tv shows. I have made a few exceptions over the years and seen trigger films. I can't recall any of their names right now, sorry. The exceptions were based upon actors in the film ~ how much I've enjoyed prior films, that kind of thing.

One of them was "the Accused" with Jodie Foster. A terrific film, but it was a major trigger for me! The film brought up my heart rate, breaths, tears, panic, and compassion for her character. Holey moley, it wasn't an easy one to watch though! After heavy shows, I always follow them with some comedies, to try to lighten my mood & get my thoughts off darkness.

I haven't ever spent a lot of time watching tv or films, so cutting back further was no problem for me. I do miss funny shows like "Seinfeld" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", that kind of stuff is a lot lighter and helps me relieve some stress.
