A personal way to experience Mickel Therapy
Learn Mickel Therapy with Dr David Mickel personally guiding you as life unfolds.
Personal Guidance with Dr David Mickel combines the complete Mickel Therapy Core Course with three private sessions and six months of personal guidance.
The guidance continues between scheduled sessions, helping you recognise and respond to what your sensory body is communicating within everyday interactions and decisions.
Why this form of guidance exists
Understanding Mickel Therapy intellectually can be different from recognising how it applies within a real conversation, decision or moment of everyday life.
Personal Guidance gives you somewhere to bring those moments while they are still current. Dr David Mickel can help you remain close to what your sensory body is communicating, recognise where a present-day signal has been left unresponded to, and identify a practical response that fits the situation itself.
This matters because Prolonged Activation State (PAS) arises when present-day sensory and body signals remain unresponded to. The aim is not simply to learn ideas, but to practise responding differently as life unfolds.
What Personal Guidance means
Across six months, course learning and real-life observation sit alongside a continuing personal relationship with Dr David Mickel. You can share a private written message or voice note, receive guidance about an appropriate practical response, and return to what you are noticing within your three private sessions.
The pathway is personal rather than prescriptive: learn, notice, share, respond and reflect—at the pace and in the order that your own experience requires.
Your private Backstage space
Every Personal Guidance client receives a private Kajabi Backstage space: a calm, continuing place for your work with David between sessions.
It can hold your private messages, voice notes and transcripts; individually selected lessons and resources; your current focus and next steps; upcoming sessions; and past recordings or summaries where available. Over time, it becomes a useful record of your programme.
The value is not the software. It is the continuity of having Dr David Mickel understand what you are exploring and guide you as the process meets your actual life.
What is included
Personal Guidance with Dr David Mickel — £2,195
The complete Mickel Therapy Core Course; three private sessions with Dr David Mickel; and six months of personal Backstage guidance.
Your programme may also include selected lessons, videos, resources and individual next steps; voice-note transcription; and session recordings, transcripts or summaries where supported by Kajabi. Course and community access follow the ordinary Core Course access terms.
How the six months unfold
There is no rigid weekly curriculum. The Core Course provides the foundation, your three sessions create room for deeper exploration, and Backstage allows relevant situations to be considered as they arise.
At different points you may be learning a lesson, noticing a sensory signal in daily life, sharing a situation with David, trying an appropriate response, or reflecting on what changed. The emphasis stays with what is most useful for you now.
Who it is for
Personal Guidance may suit you if you feel strongly drawn to the Mickel Therapy understanding; want to apply it personally rather than merely study it; value direct guidance from Dr David Mickel; are ready to engage honestly with present-day life; and want continuity between formal sessions.
What it does not provide
Personal Guidance is a continuing relationship, but it is not continuous or instant messaging, an emergency or crisis service, or ongoing general medical care.
Dr David Mickel normally reviews and responds to Backstage messages within two working days. Replies may be written or provided by voice note. The programme is for the enrolled client and does not include support for additional family members.
No particular outcome can be guaranteed. The value of the programme depends partly on your willingness to engage with the course, your present-day experience and the responses you choose to make.
Meet Dr David Mickel
Dr David Mickel is a medical doctor by background and the founder and developer of Mickel Therapy.
For more than 25 years he has worked with people experiencing persistent fatigue, pain, ME/CFS, Long Covid and related symptoms. He originated the current Prolonged Activation State understanding and the Mickel Therapy process that grew from it.
Personal Guidance is an opportunity to learn that process directly with David, while receiving his continuing attention as you apply it to your own life.
How is this different from Guided Core?
How often can I contact Dr David Mickel?
How quickly will Dr David Mickel reply?
How are the three sessions arranged?
How long does Backstage access last?
Your private Backstage access lasts for six months from enrolment. Your three sessions and Backstage support must be used within that period. Course and community access continue according to their ordinary access terms.
Is this medical care?
No. Personal Guidance helps you understand and apply Mickel Therapy. It is not emergency or crisis support, and it does not provide ongoing general medical care. Seek appropriate local medical or emergency help whenever needed.
What happens after six months?
The Personal Guidance relationship and private Backstage access conclude after six months. You retain course and community access according to their ordinary terms, and any further work with Dr David Mickel would be considered separately.
Can I purchase an individual consultation with Dr David Mickel instead?
Yes. A focused individual consultation with Dr David Mickel is a separate option when he has capacity. It does not include the Core Course, the three-session pathway or six months of Backstage guidance.
What if Personal Guidance is temporarily unavailable?
Availability is deliberately limited to preserve the personal nature of the programme. If Dr David Mickel reaches capacity, enrolment may be paused temporarily. Guided Core remains available as the principal supported pathway; there is no application or waiting list.
What if I feel recovered before the six months end?
That would be a welcome outcome. The six months are an availability period, not a required duration of treatment. You may use any remaining sessions to consolidate what you have understood or consider situations arising as you return more fully to life. Your Backstage space remains available until the end of the six-month period, but you are never required to continue using support you no longer need.
