the character of the Darkling, main antagonist of the two seasons, is a skilled manipulator, and even tries to convince the protagonist, Alina, that he is the good guy by telling her he's doing it for the good of the grishas and is trying to make her join him. Important to note that he ultimately fails, but lots of people join him in his fight.

S1E3 Baghra whacks a teenager repeatedly to get her to manifest her power
S1E7 Genya implies she has been sexually assaulted by an authority figure since childhood. It is clear what happened but it’s not shown.

Sex trafficking is a theme.
S1E6 a soldier tries to drag Alina into a building
S1E7 Genya implies she has been sexually assaulted by an authority figure since childhood. Nothing is shown but it’s clear what happened.
S2E2 there is a fight scene that may be triggering where a man is trying to take Inej back to the brothel she grew up in and has her pinned down and is threatening to cut bits of her off.
S2E3 a male villain hovers his hand up a sleeping woman’s body (he doesn’t actually touch her but the threat is there)
S2E5 discussion of Genya’s abuse, one person insults her and another validates her

there are multiple occurences of this. the character of Baghra sacrifices herself to sever the mental link between two characters.
In the last episode, a character saves another by putting her in a dumbwaiter and stalking for time. His death isn't shown on screen, but the reaction of the character is very emotional

There is no vomiting in season two, however there are some moments that still might be triggering for emetophobes.
There is gagging several times, episode 6 at around 37:30 was most triggering for me, but there is only audio of gagging during someone having something pushed into their mouth and throat (no one vomits when this happens)
Episode 7 at 48:30 has water (?) being pulled out of some soldiers mouths by a Tidemaker. Not really auditorily vomiting, but it might be triggering for some. It only lasts for a few seconds though
Episode 8 at 58:40 has blood spilling out of people's mouths. It lasts for a while, and while, from what I could tell on mute and behind my fingers, there's no heaving or really triggering vomit-like motions, it lasts until 59:45, so it is a bit much and the visual can be triggering
(sorry if I missed anything, these were the most triggering to me so they are what I remember. I will add more if I find more in a rewatch)
