I don't think you can wrap life in cotton wool, I doubt if avoiding 'triggers' is helpful to those trying to cope with PTSD.
Michael's initial examples are almost bizarre, University should be a place where youth confronts and tries to understand the dreadful realities of life that childhood is shielded from.
I am still haunted by watching the last interview with Ted Bundy, seen at Uni, I sometimes wish I hadn't watched this interview with a notorious serial killer, but on the other hand it taught me a great deal about how normal evil can appear, Ted Bundy was intelligent and handsome, it was only for a split second that the mask dropped and the monster within revealed itself.
The idea that you can avoid these aspects of life, rape, child murder, torture, etc is absurd.
