HMI Student Comments

Ericksonian Hypnosis

It was another fantastic class. It Thoroughly explained everything I ever wanted to know about Milton and the NLP. Thank you. I loved it.

Substance Abuse

George’s candid discussion made this the most compelling class on substance abuse that I have ever experienced. I learned about the psychology of addiction during my undergraduate studies in Psychology and I did well in those classes but the perspective he shared here really highlighted how little you can learn from just an educational perspective. An eye-opening lesson indeed!

Clinical Case Presentation Volume 7
2024-03-27 at 12:54 PM Pacific Time

As always, this case study was really fascinating and very detailed with how Dr. Kappas came up with his plan of action. I enjoyed his explanation to the client as well as the way. He answered the questions of the class because I had some more questions.
