Chapter 01
Childhood trauma and PTSD
Your memories, fears, beliefs, and perceptions shape decision-making. When childhood trauma or PTSD keeps a trigger live, ordinary days still carry the old charge.
Macy's Hypnosis accepts medical referrals and works with clients referred by 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. Phone sessions have been part of the practice from day one. Jim also kept a California in-person office from 1998 to 2013.
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.
