Which type of stress involves more intense stress responses that allow enough time to recover, or occur in a relatively safe environment with the presence of supportive adults?

Tolerable stress involves more intense stress responses that are usually shorter in duration and occur in a relatively safe environment with the presence of supportive adults. This type of stress allows an individual enough time to recover and cope effectively with the stressors presented. It is important to recognize the difference between tolerable stress, which can be managed with appropriate support, and toxic stress, which can have long-term negative effects on physical and mental health. Positive stress is a normal part of development and can promote resilience when appropriately managed. Complex trauma (chronic) refers to exposure to multiple traumatic events over time and can have severe and lasting impacts on individuals.
