The document discusses different types of stress employees may experience including general stress, cumulative stress, acute traumatic stress, and post traumatic stress. General stress is experienced by everyone and resolves within a day or two without intervention. Cumulative stress builds up over time and is harder to alleviate, potentially causing more serious physical and mental symptoms. Acute traumatic stress is a normal reaction to abnormal events while post traumatic stress can produce lasting changes from unresolved critical incident stress.
