Dr. Mitch Abrams has an ability to discuss complicated psychological matters in layman’s terms. While anger management is a catch-phrase that punctuates many headlines, he knows, from decades of experience, that anger isn’t the problem. He knows and is able to convey how helpful anger can be in one’s life, especially if they learn how to harness it. Dr. Abrams is not the passive academic, smoking a pipe, and pondering when change should happen. He is a roll up your sleeves, assess your problems, and go after the solution type of consultant.
Part calculating psychologist, part middle linebacker, and 100% a kid from Brooklyn, Dr. Abrams has the ability to reassure people that their emotions don’t have to be destructive, and teach them how to harness them to do that which they think was impossible.
He is a sought after speaker because of his passion, his pragmatism, his relatability, and his skills with empowering people to become the best version of themselves. Thought-provoking, he gets people to reconsider the myths of anger they have been taught, and become curious about how to be better. He is not a speaker that people walk away from without opinions.
