The nature of anger is unique, even among difficult emotions, because anger tends to be layered with other difficult emotions, meaning, anger often covers up another, deeper emotion like sadness, fear, or shame. Anger is a way we protect ourselves and feel in control. As Christians, we're often taught that anger is "bad" or "wrong," but anger is a part of our natural spectrum of emotions, even if anger is sometimes unhealthy. Often, we layer other emotions on top of anger as well such as shame, more anger, and frustration that we experience anger. I call this the "Anger Sandwich." The A.C.O.R.N technique for dealing with difficult emotions is a way to work through those layers and get to the root of the difficult emotion so you can heal your anger from the ground up.
