unsettlings
Acts of disquieting
Unsettlings are things that disturb or disquiet—events, revelations, or experiences that leave one feeling uneasy.
The word is rare, since *unsettling* typically functions as an adjective rather than a noun: The unsettlings of the past year had taken their toll on her.
More common would be "unsettling events" or simply "what unsettled her."
