The Different Kinds Of Stress

Amy Exum, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida, says there are two different types of stress: Eustress and Distress. Eustress is the positive one, because it is associated with excitement and motivation. Distress is a negative stress, because it is related to things that start to feel out of control, like financial issues, major losses and legal issues. The specialists also talks about signs and symptoms of stress that generate progress and the stress that impairs progress.
