Mickel Therapy recognises that conditions such as Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia are disorders of the energy system of the body which manifest emotional pain on a physical level. (Read about e-motions) Emotional energy which we may have been unaware of or ignored literally alters our metabolism at a cellular level; if our cells are not functioning optimally, then our body, which is just a group of cells, will not be well either and the body will start to send physical symptoms. It is also worth mentioning that positive e-motions will have the opposite effect and in fact enhance cell function.
Instead of seeing physical symptoms as things to get rid of via drugs or surgery, Mickel Therapy takes the perspective that the body is innately 'intelligent', and that symptoms are useful and necessary communication from the ’Body Intelligence’. So it works by interpreting & translating the communication and symptoms rather than by trying to eradicate them (by ‘killing the messenger’). Once the message the Body has been trying to communicate to the person is received and heard, they are then taught how to use certain tools and skills to work with the ‘Body Intelligence’ so that it no longer needs to send symptoms or create ’dis-ease’.
The good news is that the body is designed to be a self-healing mechanism and that we all have the ability to heal ourselves. Mickel Therapy allows a person to move from a place of disempowerment to self-empowerment, allowing them to restructure their approach to and experience of life.
Initially client and therapist work on interpreting and translating the message that has been hidden behind the symptoms, so that the client can at last hear what the body has been trying to communicate to them. Then the therapist instructs the client in the use of specific tools which they use when symptoms arise so that the body can see that it does not need to send symptoms anymore.
