It is shown, actually. Season 5 episode 10 (SPOILERS) while Arya is training as a faceless man, she disguises herself as a young girl in a brothel knowing that Ser Meryn Trant is a pedophile and will choose her to use. He then beats her on screen, and she takes off the face she's wearing and stabs him to death.

Two dragons die. Both very graphically. In episode 7x06 a dragon is killed by a spear and crashes through ice, sinking to the bottom. He is later resurrected as a zombie only to be finally die in 8x03. He explodes into pieces.
In episode 8x04 a dragon is shot three times with the final shot through the neck. Lots of blood. He falls into the ocean, sinking to the bottom.
SPOILERS
The final dragon survives the series but is left alone without his mother or brothers.

Also multiple characters discuss experiences during sieges/long winters where they’ve resorted to cannibalism, other characters are told they should be first, rumours are spread about certain races being cannibals.

Most of an army is burned alive in the season 6 finale and episode four of season 7. A little girl is burned alive in season 5 episode 8. Dothraki are burned alive in some episode of season 6, I wanna say five. In episode two of season 9, wildfire (similar to historical Greek fire) was used to burn a whole fleet of ships and its inhabitants.
It's a show with dragons and religions based around burning people alive. If you don't like fire, avoid.

S3E3: Jaime Lannister, a main character, is led to a chopping block, where his dominant hand is amputated by a bandit. It is done cleanly, though gore is shown. Jaime then carries the hand with him on a rope around his neck. Later, he gets an artificial gold hand as replacement. A major part of his character arc is learning to live without his hand.

Several characters have been castrated prior to the start of the show. In s3ep7 there is a scene in which a character (who is fully conscious - at least to begin with) is violently castrated. The camera blurs and cuts away as he is pinned down. In s3ep10 the character is shown again as he regains consciousness, with bloodied trousers. He is mocked for this several times.

The show is pretty infamous for killing off major characters. Many seasons see at least one MC killed, often brutally. Season 8 has multiple MC die, often in stupid ways like a building falls on them. One MC is killed but does come back to life via magic, but most of the dead stay dead.

Game of Thrones Season 1 - 6 Warnings (NOT SPOILER FREE)
This is a complete list of all v* scenes in Game of Thrones from season 1 through season 6. I watched the show on HBONow, so all the times will correspond to that. If you watch on other sites, I believe the scenes are two minutes earlier but I am not sure.
This list is not completely spoiler free, but I did my best to be vague about plot events. The scenes are not very central to the plot.
Every scene has video and audio, and to be completely safe you should mute and look away!
Season 1 Episode 6 (15:50 - 23:15)
Daenerys is going through a ritual to make sure the baby is strong, and she has to eat a horse heart. Technically not v* but it’s gross and she gags a few times. She names the baby Rhaego and the Dothraki start whooping. Even if you are very sensitive, you will probably be ok, but better safe than sorry. :)
Season 2 Episode 1 (5:20 - 6:30)
A knight shows up drunk, and Joffrey sentences him to drink an entire barrel of wine. Eventually Sansa gets Joffrey to stop, and the man’s life is saved. It’s a long, graphic scene. After 6:30 it is completely safe to keep watching.
Season 2 Episode 9 (4:05 - 4:30)
While on the ship, it goes down a line of people and someone gets seasick. It takes a few seconds to get to it, so it’s best to just skip ahead. The scene is not central to the plot.
Season 3 Episode 1 (36:30 - 37:00)
Daenerys and Jorah are talking, and one of the Dothraki gets sick. It was very triggering for me. When Jorah mentions the Iron Throne, that is when you should skip ahead. The conversation will continue with no more incidents.
Season 3 Episode 4 (3:00 - 3:30)
Jaime Lannister collapses, and asks for water. Someone hands him a flask and he drinks it, then they tell him it’s actually horsepiss. He v* and they all laugh. It’s a short scene, and not central to the plot.
Season 4 Episode 2 (49:10 - end)
Unfortunately, this scene is very central to the plot and also very triggering. I am not going to say spoilers, unfortunately. When Joffrey coughs after drinking, the triggering part starts.
Season 5 Episode 1 (15:00 - 15:48)
Tyrion is talking to Varys and he is drinking. When he says, ‘The future is shit.’ It is about to happen. He v* and then continues drinking. Then the scene changes.
Season 5 Episode 8 (54:47 - 55:00)
While in battle, Jon will be dragging himself away from a burning building. He will collapse, it will cut away, and at 54:50 exactly it will cut back to him spitting out blood. You only need to look away for 3 seconds. I found this scene mildly triggering, but others might not.
Season 6 Episode 3 (12:08 - 15:38)
Sam and Gilly are on a ship and Sam tells her he’s taking her to his home where he grew up. He’s v* because he’s seasick. He v* multiple times as well. I did not watch any of this scene and I was not confused later in the show.
Season 6 Episode 5 (28:50 - 29:30)
They will lie him on the shore. When it goes quiet, mute and look away for about 30 seconds. He wakes, v*, and is king. If he is standing when you look back, he will not v* again. He will cough a bit, but the scene will be safe.
Happy watching! :-)

A main character suffers from severe ptsd. It is triggered a few times, in relatively minor instances, but it appears majorly in s7ep2. He is later mocked for being a coward.
An important character has ptsd in relation to fire - this is mentioned a few times and appears most notably in s2ep9.
Another main character has ptsd but is not majorly triggered at any point.

The character Hodor has autistic traits, although he is not autistic. He is very much autistic-coded with repetative behaviors, stress-induced meltdowns, and difficulties with verbal speech.* (MAJOR SPOILERS) If the “neurodiversity is supernatural” trope bothers you, Hodor’s neurodivergent traits turn out to have a supernatural cause in the canon.
*Just a friendly reminder that autism is a non-linear spectrum and many of us do have speech apraxia, expressive aphasia and other speech-language disorders as a comorbidity.

A severely traumatised and brainwashed character is violent in one scene in particular - when someone attempts to forcibly rescue him from where he has been held captive, he resists as much as possible, at first screaming and struggling and ultimately resorting to biting.

From S3 onward, a character experiences physical and psychological torture with brainwashing and mind-control type abuse. After this event they have PTSD and ongoing depersonalization/dissociative symptoms. This was one of the hardest parts of the show to watch for me apart from the violence & sexual stuff. They do slowly recover in the later seasons and there is a revenge arc that ties into main plot. I feel that those with very severe dissociation will find it difficult to even watch this show up until this point (I couldn't make it a couple episodes in, years ago)
Additionally, in S5 onward, one character has an identity crisis, faces personal tests and eventually does show some brief depersonalization-like stress. This later resolves
