by Dr David Mickel
Mickel Therapy is a very unique form of healthcare. It has a theory about the nature of illness, how illness and disease are created, as well as how illness can be both corrected and prevented. The practical application involves implementing tools and techniques that directly fall from the theory that primary emotions have a direct effect on our physical cells. Importantly these emotions are not created by wrong thinking and so conventional psychological techniques do not alter them and can only help with secondary effects. Mickel Therapy teaches its clients to work only with true effects of illness.
The art of mastering Mickel Therapy is like mastering any other skill, be that learning to play the guitar or learning to play golf. Progress to proficiency is rarely if ever a straight linear path. For almost everyone who takes the journey, the process of mastering something is usually a pattern of shorts burst of progress interspersed with longer plateaus ad occasional dips. So over time the path could be described as a small improvements followed by a little dip followed by a longer period of plateau. This pattern is then repeated over and over as each burst of improvement is followed by smaller dips and longer plateaus.
However completion of Mickel Therapy treatment does not need to be a lengthy process. Despite its simplicity it is not always easy at the start so patience is definitely a virtue.
The answer is steady, consistent application. Mastering anything new will take time to build new experience, and new skills coupled with a release of old ingrained, unhelpful habits. Even though our 'head' will want to go at the pace of a high speed train, our wiser 'body' knows that new skills and learning can take time to fully embed.
For those of you reading this and are undertaking the journey of Mickel Therapy, rest assured that everyone else is experiencing the dips and plateaus as well as the bursts of improvement. Stick with it in a consistent manner and with the help of your practitioner then you will reap the rewards as those who have gone before you.
