Triggers
Trauma & PTSD Support
Client-controlled distance sessions for childhood trauma, PTSD, and triggers that still shape decisions.
Triggers living in the connected mind
Your memories, fears, beliefs, and perceptions shape decision-making. When trauma or PTSD keeps a trigger live, ordinary days still carry the old charge.
Macy's Hypnosis works with clients - including referrals from psychiatrists and psychologists - on cases that need deeper subconscious work, not a one-line pep talk.
Jim has practiced hypnosis since 1954 and founded this practice in 1998. Longevity is not a marketing line here; it is the working history peers like Michael D. Zimmerman, Ph.D., have watched in the room.
How a distance session stays client-controlled
You cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do. Hypnosis is a state of mind you allow; the hypnotist is a guide. You are not unconscious, and you cannot get stuck.
Distance sessions keep you in a familiar space. Jim closed the California in-person office in 2013 after evidence supported telephone parity, and has used distance formats since.
Clients describe the experience as relaxing, focused, and absorbing - not theatrical mind control.
Aftercare: noticing what no longer fires
Cecile C. compared an in-person session elsewhere with a tele-session with Dr. Macy and left unable to find the prior painful emotions when asked how the situation felt afterward.
That kind of aftercare moment - noticing what no longer fires - is how progress shows up between appointments.
