This is kind of a weird question, but I don’t know who else to ask...

I have a friend with DID (dissociative identity disorder) who has struggled with depression and sexual abuse.  She’s getting better and I’ve been trying to spend more time w her as she goes through treatment and recovery.  I’m obsessed with Criminal Minds, and she recently said she wants to watch it with me.  

Imo, the writers do a good job of not demonizing mental illness, but because the show takes a psychological approach to solving crimes, it focuses a lot on mental illness and the mental state of the perpetrators.  In addition, almost every case has something to do with sexual abuse. It’s a dark show.  I don’t think it’s offensive, but it might be triggering.

I don’t know how to explain to my friend that CM isn’t like other crime shows and deals with a lot of sensitive topics that might bring up bad memories and make her feel alienated.  

Am I overreacting? If not, how do I explain the situation without making her feel bad or treating her like a child?
