About
Dr. Mitch Abblett
I help people own their moments — not by muscling through, but by getting curious enough to meet what’s actually happening (inside and out) -- the raw of experience -- and then move with it.
My work is called Momentology®
Decades of research in mindfulness-based psychotherapies, behavioral change, neuroscience and reward-based learning by scientists like Dr. Steve Hayes, Dr. Jud Brewer (and many others), and my over two decades of work as a practicing psychologist have shaped my methods for helping others show up to moments.Â
It’s a simple, teachable framework for showing up in daily life using three core sets of skills: Listening – Looking – Leaping. You learn to listen with open awareness to your body, mind and emotions, look with clarity and perspective (not panic), and then leap with resonant action—the kind that fits what’s truly needed now.
Here's how I'd summarize it:
Resonance is when your attention, what deeply matters, and the moment’s reality align.
I’m a licensed psychologist, author, speaker, and consultant, and my mission is helping people and teams declutter reactive habits so they can create, connect, and lead with impact -- basically own more moments! (yes, even on the days your brain wants to close up shop!).
Two Momentology frameworks showing up in my clinical practice, coaching and teaching:
Listen–Look–Leap
(the Momentology Skillsets)
Practicing skillful noticing of experience and acting from resonance -- from the fit between what matters in your core and the opportunities around you -- so you’re not forcing, controlling, managing, or people-pleasing from survival mode.
Feel-Back™
Instead of expecting yourself or others to "feed" on expectations for change (i.e. feedback-as-usual), I've developed a method of speaker-led invitations to the present moment of the relationship. Receiver's experience is verified, and they are invited, with lowered pressure to co-presence with the speaker. Â
With feelback we learn to Listen-In → Look-Through → Leap-Lightly, speaking the truth of the moment in order to create more authentic connection and creative solutions.

Under the hood,
I am a practitioner of Momentology as much as any client I'm coaching, clinical patient I'm treating. I'm a fallible human tripping on the hurdles of my conditioning as much as anyone! Just ask anyone who knows me well (but only those who like me). My office is a laboratory for this relentless experiment called living!

10-Second Arrival (Listening).
Before your next meeting or hard conversation, pause for ten seconds: breathe, feel your feet, catch three sounds.
That’s it.
Then Look by naming three realities (one inside you, one outside, one about the whole situation).
Finally, Leap with one small, resonant action that fits what’s needed—often a curious question.
Bonus (Feel-Back in one line): after you do so ask yourself: "How is this moment landing for me? How might it be landing for them?”
Then listen some more.
What I'm Building
Why Dr. Abblett?
I’ve spent years blending clinical work, mindfulness, and clear-spoken tools so real humans (with real schedules) can stop “nexting” their lives away and own the moment they’re actually in.
When folks try this, relationships shift—from defensiveness to motion, from performance to connection.Â
