There is no domestic violence, but be aware that towards the start of the film it does showcase a man being a total douchebag towards his girlfriend. This could potentially be triggering to some!

People are sent away to a realm at the end of a movie, but I wouldn't consider them to be burned. They are sent to a hell-like place which could be triggering.

Not exactly but one of the villains towards the end gets time-reversed into a brick-wall and I think that had similar type of creepiness.

Main character's fingers are severely injured in a car crash at the beginning of the movie. They are shown post-surgery with lots of metal stilts, and after healing you can clearly see the scars later in the movie.

The villains are sent to a hell-like place and tortured there. The main character also suffers some "torture" but it is kind of humorous by situation so I think it makes it a lot less upsetting.

Mild jumpscare. After Dr. Strange went through a portal in front of Christine, behind her a mop falls out of a bucket onto the floor, and the noise scares her. Not a true jumpscare, because the audience can see it coming.

The characters spend some time in the Mirror Dimension, which allows them to physically move, distort, duplicate, etc. everything around them. It's quite trippy, and triggers mild depersonalization-derealization for me. Outside of the Mirror Dimension, the characters also use magic to cast illusions, turn back time, and change various things about their environment.

Sort of - the titular character is frequently noticeably upset after finding out his hands no longer work as properly as they should.

The Ancient One is whitewashed, while some have argued they’re a stereotype in the comics they were one of few Tibetan characters in western media so this really doesn’t sit well with me.

No, the main character does have his shirt taken off when he gets stabbed. A female nurse he once dated is trying to save his life. It is not sexual at all.

It is in the beginning and due to distracted driving. It show in detail and slow mo what is happening in the car with glass shattering and alludes to broken hands. The car crashes and goes off the road down a cliff and ends up hanging on a fence near water.

id say its the same amount of blood as other marvel movies except this one's is often themed around surgeries and hospital so its less sci-fi and might be more triggering if thats something that messes with you
