If I remember correctly, angst doesn't translate directly into psychic powers in P4.  Accepting it, and coming to an understanding of the darkest parts of your own psyche, does.
Consider what would happen to the Eva cast if they were well on the way to recovering from their assorted mental issues- more than that, if by putting themselves on the road to recovery, they had become powerful enough to effect some real change.

Yeah, in Persona 4, characters unlock their persona powers after having to confront their own issues. Or having to face unpleasant truths, etc, that sorta thing. Of course, this usually takes the form of BIG MENTAL BOSS BATTLEZ in P4, but hey, the point stands.
Honestly, before the I knew about the whole End of Evangelion 'hey everyone is tang, okay' thing, when I watched the original Eva TV series on disc...I'd assumed the last episodes of Evangelion, the whole abstract weirdness thing... to be everyone coming to terms with their issues. Particularly Shinji. I mean, it ends with an image of Shinji standing at the centre of a crowd, and the whole cast applauding. It's actually a pretty positive visual.
Clearly, after that, he can summon the persona of a giant mythical penguin god. Or something.
