Foreword by Randall Griffith, LCSW CHt

In the extensive field of behavioral change literature, there occasionally emerges a unique contribution that simply defies convention, blending diverse disciplines into a tapestry of knowledge and wisdom not seen before. Feelfulness, feel a feeling by choice, is unequivocally one of these gems. I have been in the behavioral emotional health field for more than four decades, and I have perused the pages of countless books, each offering a unique perspective on transformation, and I can wholeheartedly affirm that feelfulness stands unparalleled. This remarkable pioneering endeavor intricately weaves together the threads of psychology, hypnotherapy, shamanism, and alchemy all underpinned by the latest findings in neuroscience. Carmen Sosius is unafraid to tackle theoretical underpinnings while offering highly practical advice as well. The neuroscience chapters provide a deep and comprehensive understanding of the brain's plasticity and its potential for transformation. But what truly sets this book apart is its practicality and versatility. Carmen's writing style is both engaging and professional, making it an invaluable guidebook for therapists, coaches, and anyone seeking to enhance their lives. As I read through the pages of Feelfulness, I couldn't help but wish that I had this book in my hands during my years of supervision. Its wealth of information, supported by sound references, would have been an invaluable tool in guiding and inspiring those I mentored. Feelfulness, feel a feeling by choice, is a transformative journey that transcends boundaries and defies categorization. Carmen Sosius's work is a beacon of light, illuminating the path toward empowerment and transformation. I am honored to introduce you to this very unique book, and I have no doubt it will leave an indelible mark on your life, just as it has on mine. Randall Griffith, Sue, Chuck
