Mickel therapy® Treatment

Great mystery used to surround the treatment that is Mickel Therapy®. This was probably due to some of the terms used and the fact that a talking therapy claimed to treat the very physical conditions of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME, Fibromyalgia et al. 

Dr Mickel has always said that he felt that the medical world was not ready to accept the existence of an innate Smart Body or Body Intelligence and this has been true for over 20 years of Mickel Therapy®. Nonetheless the treatment is actually based on the acceptance of the existence of this Body Intelligence. Hopefully the description of the treatment steps below will allow people seeking our help to understand what is involved.

The Hypothesis

Dr Mickel believes that the conditions of CFS, ME and Fibromyalgia are states of chronic and intractable ‘fight or flight’. He describes a state of ‘Hypothalamitis’ in his short book and video. 

Dr Mickel uses no laboratory or other scientific tests to prove or disprove his hypothesis. The WHO have a set list of tests that patients will have been through. As long as sufferers still report excellent results with the treatment process then he feels the study of the pathophysiology should be left to researchers.

In order to get full benefit from your Mickel Therapy® you are asked to embrace the existence of a Body Intelligence which is independent of your Head (cognitive brain). For many this can be a stretch of their beliefs. An example would be of a gut feeling whereby we just know something intuitively. We can walk into a room and sense an emotional discomfort within us. A baby displays emotional responses to the world from birth despite having no language to create a cognitive appraisal.

These examples point towards a subconscious intelligence that we refer to as the Emotional Body, the Innate or simply the Body. One of the Body’s roles in our life is to guide us through an unpredictable world. We believe that it uses emotional signals or feelings to do this. These emotions are not the same as the emotions that our Head (cognitive brain) produces through our thought patterns. Other treatments often focus on these to no avail.

Mickel Therapy® believes that we are raised to be very focused on our Head cognitions at the cost of our intuitive, emotional truths and this leads over time to a chronic ‘fight or flight’ state and symptoms of CFS, ME, Fibromyalgia and other energy disorders. In other words the Head has started to rule the Heart. In Mickel Therapy®, we focus on teaching you about the Body and empowering you to reclaim your vitality.
