Introduction

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, COACHING & CONSULTATION => Resolve personal & relationship blocks => Optimize potential for inner wellbeing and empowerment - with more ease, flow and success. AUTHOR & CLINICIAN: => AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS ON PODCASTS AND OTHER MEDIA RECENT TESTIMONIALS: DISCOVERED THE WISDOM "Craig provides a comfortable, warm and supportive environment in which to explore deeply personal and meaningful topics or goals. His guidance and empathetic listening helped me discover the wisdom needed to forge a productive and healthy path forward. It can be daunting to find a good fit and sound professional to invest oneself emotionally and one's own money. I’m extremely grateful to have found Craig and recommend him as a trusted partner in whatever you’re seeking to find in yourself or from your life’s journey." Female Client PURE LOVE "I feel like all I've heard come from you in our conversations is pure love and a key understanding of how and where it shows up for us." Internationally Known Professional Coach MASSIVE IMPACT "Craig, I will never be able to thank you enough for the massive impact you have personally made in my life - more than all the people I have known in my 40 years. You have helped to foster and build in me so much positivity and so much understanding of the world I live in - and how I live and interact with it. You have deepened my understanding of relationships, of my faith and how God operates in my life and the world, and, most importantly, you helped me to look inward for the first time in my life at myself and who I am at my core. I have always looked outward to others to see what I can do to support and help them. You helped me learn that by freeing myself to also do that for myself, I was able to do more for the world and the people that matter to me. I was able to make impacts that were truly meaningful for them. Our conversations will stay with me the rest of my life, and I will continue to explore them to extract even more of their value. You helped open my heart up to an amazing way of viewing the world and I will be forever grateful to you for that. Thank you for all of the support you have also provided for me and my team at work over the last 2 years. You helped us build a strong foundation from which to continue to grow." Male, Customer Service Director ~~~ IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES “When I looked online for a psychologist, they almost all looked the same, except Craig. Craig responded expediently and was so warm and welcoming. Within a few weeks, I was amazed by the journey I had started. I wanted to make some changes. Craig quickly showed me that thought and consciousness were the keys to change. The most amazing thing was that I was immediately able to make changes to any thoughts or behavior. Soon, I had changed my outlook and the people around me started to change. I was so awestruck by this new way of thinking that I introduced it to my HR Manager. We have now been helping our managers and eventually all of our employees with this new understanding. I thoroughly enjoy my time with Craig. Every session is filled with depth and breadth of subject, and we always have great laughs. Craig has added more value to my life in a short time than anyone else ever. I am grateful for all he has done and all we are yet to achieve.” CEO & Business Owner REWARDING AND INTRIGUING CONVERSATIONS “Thank you for all we shared. I thoroughly enjoyed learning not only the three principals but so much more!! Our conversations were some of the most rewarding and intriguing conversations I have experienced in my life. I gained a lot!” Department Manager FOREVER IMPACT “I really enjoyed our time spent together and it will forever impact my life. So glad and thankful that I had the opportunity to work with you.” Department Manager A REAL GIFT “You have helped me heal and grow in immeasurable ways. You are a real gift in my life.” Client HELPED ME PROGRESS "You are amazing and have been instrumental in the direction of my life! You are one of the most important people who has helped me to progress. Thank you so much for everything you did at such an important time in my life. You are a really great person, and I appreciate everything you did." Voicemail left by client more than a decade after ending our sessions NOW IT'S CLEAR, I AM NOT BROKEN “I have seen multiple therapists prior to becoming a client of yours. They all either led me in the direction of diminished hope (convincing me that I cannot succeed due to my mental health) or were just ‘someone to talk to’ – there was no substance. After meeting with you, things began to click. The more you spoke about the intricacies of the mind, the more I realized how misguided I was – this was the moment where I knew you could help me. Now it’s very clear. I’m not broken. Just as you said, and is very evident to me now, If you allow something to wire your brain a certain way, then you must be able to re-wire it. I have the power (through wisdom and common sense) to re-train my brain and thoughts into a healthy and positive way. I’ve made so many positive changes since you told me to remember ‘the great feeling I had during our last session’ when obstacles come my way. I realize I was creating my problems. My mother and I had a good conversation. I cannot remember the last time our relationship has been this well. This is just the beginning. I want to see where this will go. I really appreciate what you have done for me.” ~~~ BOOK 1 JUST RELEASED: [2024] Reality-Shattering Insights: Begin Life's Journey - Exploring the human ability to completely transform in an instant.

Polsfuss deftly integrates findings from brain science and mental health research with timeless spiritual principles, presenting a holistic approach to personal healing and transformation. This synthesis feels both grounded and inspiring. As someone who has struggled with self-doubt and the constant pursuit of external validation, I found the sections on nurturing self-acceptance and cultivating a deeper sense of worthiness to be truly life changing. The practical strategies and exercises provided a roadmap for breaking free from the cycle of self-criticism and insecurity." Sandra Smith 5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing Perspective Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024 "I've read many self-help books, but this one hits different. Polsfuss's blend of science and spirituality makes the concepts both credible and accessible. The section on instant transformation particularly resonated with me. It's refreshing to see complex psychological concepts explained in such relatable terms." Scott Barker 5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024 "There's valuable wisdom here, though some sections required multiple readings to fully grasp. The author's personal journey adds authenticity to the teachings. Would recommend taking your time with this one. This is an extraordinary book that delves deep into the realms of personal transformation, blending psychology, brain science, and spiritual principles in a captivating way. This book sets the stage for a profound journey of self-discovery." ~~~ SPEAKING (LIVE & ONLINE): With an informal and engaging style, Craig’s presentations awaken audiences to the wellbeing and potential "right in front of them".
