OPSIM ©

On-going Progressive Session Induction Method

OPSIM© is a tried and trusted process developed over many years to ensure hypnotherapy sessions (at that time for IBS patients) are optimised.

This method was developed by Michael Mahoney who wanted to find new ways of enhancing therapeutic outcomes for his IBS patients, and in doing so move away from the standard process of delivery used in hypnotherapy at that time which originally consisted of one session repetition over several weeks and sometimes many months to achieve desired outcome.

OPSIM© challenged the idea that mere repetition of sessions was enough. In fact, contrary to popular belief, simple repetition of the same single session often ingrained, rather than released presenting negative thoughts and feelings, which (for many individuals) were then carried through from beginning to the end of treatment.

OPSIM© works with the natural human ability of the learning and re-learning process.  It reinforces previous learning and knowledge, revisiting accepted truths and thereby provides a confident foundation of treatment which is progressively added to through interlinking sessions.  

The OPSIM© method of treatment delivery allows greater flexibility and often improved success for the patient, encourages patient compliance allowing the user to take part in their own healing.

OPSIM© was developed by Michael Mahoney for use in his IBS Audio Program 100™ which is now used in over 40 countries. It was found that this enhanced application to audio programs could usefully be integrated into other condition specific programs.

Now OPSIM© is used widely in many of Michael’s major programs and by many in the hypnotherapy profession who recognise the advantages of the process and the benefits to patients and clients.

Michael also uses his OPSIM© protocol to maximise client benefit in his one – to – one sessions at his medical centre based practice, in Warrington, Cheshire.
