Norma lies to Norman about things he has done while blacked out in an attempt to protect him and because she believes he is technically innocent since he is mentally ill. This may be interpreted as gaslighting.

Norman does taxidermy so some dead animals are shown while he works on them or after they are stuffed. There is one scene where he hallucinates that a bird he is stuffing comes back to life and tries to escape his grip. Blood is shown in this scene as he cuts into the bird. Ornithophobia trigger for sure.

There might be mentions of a dead cat, but none shown. One character is learning taxidermy, and he might say he found one? Can't remember for sure.

There's a rape in the first episode, it is very graphic and upsetting. A character discusses being raped by her brother as a child. Rape is brought up quite often actually. And in season one, there is an arc about human trafficking using I think Chinese girls as sex slaves.

In season one, this happens to two people. Neither shown on fire while alive on screen. But the first one is a car crashes, and the door opens to reveal a still living, badly burned man, no fire, but graphic wounds. The second time, it is a dead body, so maybe not? But the body is hanging from a pole, on fire.

Not technically, but Norman has blackouts and these could be considered potentially traumatic for someone? He basically goes into a waking but catatonic state, or becomes very violent.

The show starts with a scene of the main character finding his father dead in the garage, and much of season 1's plot hinges on this event.

Mild, but there are a few times when characters appear almost out of nowhere. We're leading up to Psycho here, guys, there's gonna be at least some slightly scary stuff.

Spoilers ahead
Happens in the first episode of the first season, Norman is sat at a table eating lunch at school when he looks down and notices blood on his shoe, left from when he and his mum moved the body of Keith Summers, he promptly runs up the steps behind him and is seen and heard throwing up into a bin. At around the 36 minute mark on Netflix times, lasts a fair few seconds. Skipping ahead by about 30 seconds should get you past it.

No, but a character does have a terminal disease, something with her lungs, can't remember the name.
She does not die from this disease last I saw, I'm still in season 4.

There are multiple attempted/contemplated suicides. One character is murdered (which is clear to viewers) but their death is presumed a suicide.

A character admits that she was sexually abused by a family member for several years and this has a deep impact on her. Later it is revealed that some of their relationship was consensual though misguided by their shared traumatic childhood.
