Today we're talking with Dr. Trevor Wilkins, AKA the Angry Viking Therapist. I met him at Bear Independent's Refuge Ruckus—a fundraising event for Kaleb House. If you haven't heard of this ministry, you need to check it out. Bear, or TJ, and his team save kids who have been victims of sex trafficking, house them safely, and provide a full range of therapies to help put them back together after all they've been through. Please consider helping them in their work: https://www.kalebhouse.org/donate

Dr. Wilkins talks with us about being a first responder, discovering he had PTSD years after a seriously traumatic event, spiraling into an anger-fueled prison, and not being able to find help from counselors. In the fallout, he lost his job as a cop, and that all led him to eventually get his doctorate as a therapist to figure out how to fix himself. Spoiler: he figured it out and is now helping others do the same thing. He'll talk with us about pragmatic ways to not get so angry and to get to the root of the problem that's causing your anger or depression.
