ETA: and if they wanted to show how "powerful as frick" he was, why let a little girl who doesn't even know she's a jedi bitch slap him the whole movie?

To add to what's already been said, Kylo Ren was mortally wounded by Chewbacca's bowcaster. They made it a point in the film to show how destructive that weapon was, typically knocking stormtroopers off their feet and throwing them several yards away. He had also just murdered his father, adding to the confliction that was already mentioned. He was an emotional and physical wreck at that point.

ETA: Not to mention that Snoke wants him to bring Rey to him in order to turn her. Han told the truth when he told Kylo that Snoke would be done with him when he gets what he wants... which would likely be Rey in this story. I can imagine that is eating away at him.
