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

I will definitely get this book. I'm totally interested after that Book Club. I'm always asking people (mainly my autistic husband) to speak in smaller words and he just can't understand the concept of communication doesn't work if both people don't understand what is being communicated.
