As an aside, there was something else I wanted to address. I don't know enough details about your situation to make a judgment, but based on what you've said here I do wonder if this is the appropriate workplace for you, in terms of being a healthy environment. It sounds to me like your employer is the kind of person/organization that believes the letter of the law over the spirit of the law (for example, perhaps you could've received the material in a more general and written form instead of the detailed and triggering movie images; or perhaps they could have placed you in a different, less upsetting division).
I also have to question an employer who believes it's acceptable to subject an employee to further psychological abuse by forcing her to endure triggering material, and do so in the public setting of a group. That seems both callous and irresponsible. Again, I don't have all the info, but that aspect threw up a red flag for me so I thought I'd mention it.
