Understanding the Difference Between Stress and Toxic Stress
from The Freedom From Empty Podcast Hosted by Booth Andrews
Our body processes "good" stress and "bad" stress the same way. In other words, it cannot tell the difference. And some would say that stress is neither inherently good OR bad. Toxic stress isn't actually about the source of the stress, but about the chronic and ongoing nature of the stress. When the body does not have the opportunity to adequately recover from the physiological stress response, breakdowns begin to occur--affecting our emotional, mental, and physical well-being--ultimately causing chronic and sometimes terminal illness. The longer we wait to change the habits and to correct the imbalances, the longer it will take to fully heal from the damage caused by toxic stress. www.boothandrews.com http://www.talentsmart.com/articles/article.php?title=How-Emotionally-Intelligent-People-Handle-Toxic-People&ID=1028629190 https://www.heysigmund.com/toxic-stress/
