Whether you are experiencing chronic or post-viral fatigue syndrome, Me,
fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, or anxiety and stress — a local workshop aims to help you take the first step towards symptom-free health.
Organised by Mickel Therapy head practitioner and clinical advisor Clare
Caldwell, the workshop will investigate the causes behind unwanted symptoms and how to deal with them.
Mickel Therapy was developed by Dr David Mickel, a GP from elgin. It uses
new discoveries in the body’s internal processes and applies them to symptoms associated with a range of conditions.
Ms Caldwell explained: “If we don’t act on our body’s emotion to a situation that is not good for us in some way, an unhealthy neural pathway is
generated from the emotional midbrain to the hypothalamus – causing it to
overwork. Because the hypothalamus is responsible for making sure every
single part of our body is working effectively and in balance, this unhealthy
pathway can result in symptoms of ill health.
“Mickel Therapy looks at why symptoms are being generated by the body
and provides simple tools and individual guidance to allow each person to
listen and respond to these symptoms.”
Current or past Mickel clients, and anyone who wishes to learn how stress,
inappropriately handled, can generate ill health, are welcome to attend.
The workshop will cover:
n why the hypothalamus goes into ‘overdrive’ and produces symptoms;
n the differences between primary and secondary emotions and how understanding these can increase fulfilment;
n the three core behaviours which lead to symptoms;
n the Three Keys to health which keep our life on track and how to implement them;
n why taking ‘constructive action’ is key to reducing symptoms and
emotions;
n how to use the four ‘A’s: Awareness, Acceptance, Acknowledgement and
Action – to increase emotional awareness and lead to improved health and
wellbeing.
Ms Caldwell said: “Perhaps you find it difficult to voice your feelings and
needs in ways appropriate for you, or you put the needs of others first and
then end up feeling exhausted or resentful.
“We will look at ways of dealing appropriately with stress, anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed. We will also look at how to deal more appropriately with bullying or unfair treatment from others. The information we share
can help you break through the unhealthy cycle.”
The one-day workshop is intended as an introduction. As Ms Caldwell explained: “everyone is different and personal guidance with a qualified Mickel
therapist will bring about the best results. Like learning to drive a car, you can
read a manual but you still need lessons with an instructor…”
The workshop will be held on 23rd August in the Inverness area and costs
£87 which includes a workbook to take away. Places will be limited.

emotional and practical support to each person to enable
them to rediscover skills and abilities and to learn new skills.
Service user involvement is paramount in the way we deliver

conditions resulted in it being
postponed.
Sisters Fiona Campbell and
Jane and helen York will now
make the jump at Strathallan
Airfield near Auchterarder on
31st August — but are hoping
the delay will enable them to
raise even more money.
Mrs Campbell’s three-year-old
daughter Sophie was born with
craniosynostosis, resulting in
an abnormally shaped head.
She has already undergone
two major operations including
an eight-hour operation at
Glasgow’s Southern General
to reshape her skull and an
operation on her spine at
edinburgh’s royal hospital for
Sick Children.
Consequently, Sophie, of
Dingwall, developed a phobia
of hospitals. Play specialists on
the children’s ward at raigmore
hospital have helped her to
overcome this fear.
Jane York, a pre-operation
assessment administrator
at raigmore hospital, lives
in West heather Gardens,
Slackbuie, while her sister,
helen, of Culduthel Mains Circle,
is a financial assistant with
Inverness Leisure.
The money will be shared
between the highland Children’s
Unit Appeal, edinburgh Sick
Kids Friends Foundation and the
Yorkhill Children’s Charity.
