A Journey of Transformation
Evan started out the interview with a dramatic personal story that illustrated how his own journey of healing his own anger had given him the experience to teach others about the nature of anger and how to heal the inner pain that caused it.
His dad, an alcoholic who was a trial lawyer, was chronically angry. In school, Evan was oversensitive and used anger to hide his vulnerability. As a young man, he experienced relationship difficulties, terrible mood swings, and bouts of rage, depression, and grief.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1998, his father had a heart attack. In the ICU ward of the hospital, after his father began to belittle him, Evan shouted back at him. At 4.30 am, Evan received a call that his father was now in critical condition. His father blew the stent in his heart and bled to death before Evan could get there. "When I got there he was dead, and no one else was around. I thought he was right: I am no good, I am nothing. And here's the proof, I participated in killing my father."
That singular event transformed Evan, and he embarked on a crusade to help those with anger issues. During the radio show interview, he described the causes behind anger, the cognitive distortion it caused, and some highly effective ways parents can talk to their angry teens and make the distinction between inflicting punishment and presenting consequences.
