IV. MAJOR TYPES/SOURCES OF STRESS
Although we know that almost anything can be a source of stress, we have 4 major classifications or types of stress:
A) FRUSTRATION - stress due to any situation in which the pursuit of some goal is thwarted. Frustration is usually short-lived, but some frustrations can be source of major stress:
1) failures - we all fail. But, if we set unrealistic goals, or place too much emphasis on obtaining certain successes, failure can be devastating.
2) Losses - deprivation of something that you once had and considered a "part" of your life. Can result in tremendous stress.
