The executive who couldn't stop blowing up at home
Composed at work. Volcano at home.
Composite · details changed
A C-suite operator who held it together for 11 hours a day and lost it on his family in the twelfth.
Before
Coachable, articulate, in therapy for years. Still snapping at his wife and freezing out his kids. He hated who he became at 7 p.m.
The turning point
The rage wasn't a character flaw — it was a regulation strategy his nervous system had been running since age nine. Different strategy, different outcome.
After
Steady at 7 p.m. Steady on Sunday. Marriage intact. Kids speaking to him.
"I didn't need to be a better person. I needed a different nervous system."
