Specifically, I think one gets beheaded. It's considered in poor taste by the onlookers, but it happens.

A rat is placed into a pan against someones belly and heat is applied to the pan. Also, some dogs are left in starvation, but they later eat their owner, which is nice.

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.

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.

Multiple scenes with the wildlings contain references to or imagery surrounding cannibalism. 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.

Multiple instances of gore but there’s one scene in particular where a man’s skull is crushed by the hands of another. Highly disturbing and visual. His eyes are gouged out.

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.

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.

Season 1: safe
Season 2, episode 1: Joffrey forces a man to drink a barrel of wine towards the beginning of episode, and he doubles over puking on screen (very brief).
Season 2, episode 9: a man on Stannis’s ship vomits on screen into a barrel near the beginning of episode(very brief)
Season 3, episode 1: While Dany and Jorah are talking on a ship, a man vomits off-screen (audible) and in the next shot, he is hunched over next to where he puked (vomit visible on ground).
Season 3, episode 4: Jaime pukes onscreen after drinking from a bottle. Happens right after his captors tell him it’s horse piss.
Season 4, episode 2: To avoid spoilers, I will simply just put a timestamp for this one: *49:30*
Happens at Joffreys wedding(very brief).
*Someone already made a list for the rest of the seasons (1-6), but for season 7-8, there is no vomit in any. Season 7 and 8 are safe!!

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.

No characters have an eating disorder as such, but at one point a major character refuses to eat out of grief and another character is held captive without food or water for the better part of season three.

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.
