Anger Iceberg

Anger is often expressed to mask underlying vulnerable emotions like hurt or shame. Anger triggers can provide clues about the emotions fueling one's anger, as anger may stem from feelings of sadness, disappointment, loneliness, and other emotions hidden beneath the surface. The "anger iceberg" model illustrates that anger is typically just the visible tip, while various emotions lie beneath the surface contributing to feelings of anger.
