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?

Complex Trauma (Chronic)
Positive Stress
Tolerable Stress
ACES

The correct answer is: Tolerable Stress

Tolerable stress is the correct answer. Tolerable stress refers to more intense stress responses that allow enough time to recover or occur in a relatively safe environment with the presence of supportive adults. This type of stress can still have a significant impact on an individual, but with the appropriate support systems in place, the individual can recover and develop resilience. Complex trauma (Chronic) refers to exposure to multiple and prolonged traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature. Positive stress is a normal and essential part of development, helping individuals learn to cope with challenges. ACES stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences, which are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (e.g., experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect).
