yes it is possible and it is required to be done by a different judge but typically it’s only available for criminal contempt—more than 24 hrs.

see here for the federal court rules about it (see a3 in particular for the language that disqualifies the “disrespected judge” from being the trial judge for the contempt charge)
rules will vary state to state
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. If you think you need legal advice seek out a competent licensed attorney in your jurisdiction
