HMI Book Club with Marc Gravelle, CHt - Online Course
Presented By: Marc Gravelle
Certified Hypnotherapist and Senior Staff Instructor for 25 years at HMI College of Hypnotherapy, Marc Gravelle was a mentor and inspiration to many HMI students, graduates, and colleagues, including myself. Having himself mentored for many years under both Dr. John Kappas and Alex Kappas, Marc combined a strong Kappasinian methodology with a pragmatic down to earth approach to therapy and behavior.
Marc demonstrated this pragmatic approach by integrating the use of many classic and popular self-help books into his hypnotherapy practice. As one of his biggest fans and long-term clients and having personally experienced the power and benefits of this practice, I suggested and encouraged him to share this idea with the students at HMI. Together we produced 20 half-hour shows for HMI Web TV (aka Hypnosis TV) titled; “HMI Book Club.”
On behalf of Marc and myself, we hope you enjoy.
George Kappas, MA, LMFT
Director, HMI College of Hypnotherapy

We are in such a rush to get to… that we are rushing to our end, and causing unnecessary discomfort in our lives, that we make ourselves miserable in the process of living in such a hurry and then we die.

HMI Book Club - The Ten Commandments of Character by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
2024-07-28 at 11:19 Pacific Time
The Rabbi response to not reveal the secret was absolutely golden. I loved this section, particularly because my immediate reaction to the story was "No!" but also because I definitely thought he'd try to explain somehow how she should tell the truth. It was a pleasant surprise seeing his response be common-sense filled.

HMI Book Club - The Well-Behaved Child by Dr. John Rosemond
2024-07-27 at 10:19 Pacific Time
This book was interesting, and I can definitely glean some wisdom, but I find that some of the methods are disagreeable. I don't think any child that has frequently gotten "because I said so" was actually better for it. For me growing up, having to randomly do things just because without understanding the rationale behind it only created more resentment for me. I'd say to take some of these with some discernment as far as usefulness goes and research whatever you're not sure of.

Reframing is such an easily accepted approach because it does not deny the client’s experience but also replaces victim hood with feelings of empowerment. Great presentation.
