Anger is not the root emotion. It is a signal pointing to something deeper. Psychologists often use the concept of the Anger Iceberg to explain this idea. Just as most of an iceberg exists beneath the water's surface, anger often sits above a much larger collection of emotions that remain hidden from view.

At Evolution Counselling Services, we often help clients understand that strong reactions in close relationships are rooted in how trauma shapes the brain, the body, and our attachment systems.

Understanding the ways in which trauma impacts relationships is vital in creating a supportive and healing environment for both partners.
