I've spent many years doing inner work. I'm a spiritual person, I've worked with therapists, and I've explored a wide range of healing and personal development tools. When I finally decided to work with a hypnotherapist, I didn't rush the decision. I researched extensively to find someone truly experienced, professional, and trustworthy. John Bridges stood out immediately, and after working with him, I can confidently say he is the best hypnotherapist I've encountered. With over 25 years of experience, John brings a level of depth, precision, and professionalism that is rare. I trusted him to help me reshape my mind, reduce anxiety, and move forward in life, and the results have been profound. Since seeing John, my anxiety has completely disappeared. I feel calm, clear, and able to move toward my path with confidence and direction. His voice, presence, and guidance are incredibly grounding, and his approach feels both practical and deeply effective. I drove an hour to see John, and it was absolutely worth the time and effort. He has become a special tool in my tool belt, someone I will continue working with as part of my ongoing growth and healing. If you're searching for hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress, or personal transformation in San Diego or the surrounding areas, don't hesitate. Book a session with John Bridges. read more

Bridges Hypnosis Center - John Bridges is the best! - Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy Near Me - San Marcos, California

John bridges is the real deal. If you smoke or vape or have any other addiction that you want help with. Go see him and commit yourself to quitting. He can help. It took me 4 sessions. The first 3 sessions, i went 3-5 days without nicotine before letting myself give in. After the fourth session, he told me thats it, it's up to me if this is what I want. I have now gone 34 days without any form of nicotine. Before, i couldn't even go 1 day. Be ready to face your demons as you will be a gigantic a-hole for the first week. But once you realize that the chemicals you have been consuming have been doing way more harm than you could ever imagine, you will want to continue your journey. Getting hypnotized by John is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I honestly went into this thinking there is no way this is gonna work. If there was someone this wouldn't work on, it would be me. The other great part of this experience is that because I have been able to accomplish this, I feel like I can accomplish anything. I no longer have self doubt. This was the hardest thing I have ever done. Now, whenever i feel like I need a puff, i just take a deep breath or 2 and continue with my day. Even sharing my struggles with addiction here is hard for me to do, but I feel like by sharing this, I can help a lot of people. Stop thinking about it, if you truly want to quit, take the first step and go see john Bridges. You will be glad you did. read more

I recently completed a six-session program with John, and I can confidently say it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the very first session, John's approach made a profound impact. Not only have I become a much more positive and happier person, but the procrastination that used to hold me back is entirely gone.

Thank you, John, for helping me find the best version of myself! read more

I cannot fairly describe the kind of impact Mr. John Bridges has made in my life! I'll try to give you an idea though... Right after my free orientation, I knew I was stepping into an experience that would shift everything for me, and I was right!!! I committed to 6 sessions up front because I was very serious about the changes I wanted to see in myself and in my life. and I am now writing this review just shortly after my very last session. I can tell you this much. I am not the same person I was when I started this journey. My level of confidence and self awareness has changed me entirely. I feel lighter than ever before. I no longer feel sorry for myself, or feel wronged by anyone. I feel way more in control of my emotions and my reactions to things/people. I care more about where I'm heading and what I'm doing about it. I finally feel like I love who I am, where I'm at and where I am going without this sense of loss, urgency or fear it won't work out. I'm enjoying the moments more and more. The best part is that I've built a relationship with the one person I know I can count on no matter what happens, the one person I know will always have my back, be there when I fall, and lift higher than before every time. This person has been with me through it all and will be there when I take my last breath. This person is ME! And it feels great to have my best interest. I've never valued myself like I do now. I've also been landing incredible opportunities in my career, been putting myself out there like never before and have reached some milestones I've been aiming for, for years. It's an incredible feeling, being able to step through a NEW door in life, SHUT the door behind you, put on a LENS you've crafted specifically for yourself, take a strong grip of the reigns of your own life and gallop FORWARD with confidence. That's just a part of what I got going through this experience and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL! Thank you John Bridges! From the bottom of my heart! Thank you for all you do for people! To my new forever friend, thank you! Sincerely, Your forever friend, Iman read more

Bridges Hypnotherapy came recommended to me by a friend who had gone to Mr. Bridges for smoking cessation. My friend was very hesitant when she first went for hypnotherapy, but she quickly came to understand the tremendous benefits Mr. Bridges was able to provide her. She had three sessions, and quit smoking after 45 years. I could see such a positive change in her that, although hesitant myself, I decided to go in for a free consultation. I went to Mr. Bridges primarily to help me with focus and follow-through, fairly intangible in comparison to tangible issues like smoking cessation. I took a month to think about it before committing, and then I purchased eight sessions and did my best to keep an open mind. Normally a laid back and confident person, when I met Mr. Bridges I was WOUND TIGHT with various issues of grief and marital discord. I had lost my peace, happiness and confidence. Mr. Bridges was BEYOND patient and kind in listening to my struggles, but more importantly, he was so incredibly CAPABLE of helping me through my struggles! I did not always feel an immediate change after each session, To be honest, sometimes I was not even sure of the direction we were headed at the time, but I continued to keep an open mind. The more I met with Mr. Bridges the more I felt he knew me, understood me and where I was, and where I needed to go. Even when I did not know. What a gift! More than a month after my last session, I am still seeing positive changes. My focus and follow-through did not look like what I had imagined, instead it turned out better than I could have imagined! My sessions with Mr. Bridges were life changing. He truly cares about his clients, in a way that is incredibly rare these days. In short, he is a treasure. I will definitely be seeing Mr. Bridges again as other matters arise. I have complete confidence that he can help me (help myself) through any challenges I may face in my future. As an aside, I mentioned to Mr. Bridges that while focus and follow-through were my main focus, if weight loss and my relationship with my husband benefited as well, I would be grateful! As it turns out, I lost 15 pounds while I was seeing Mr. Bridges, and I'm working on my marriage in a different way than ever before. I was not sure hypnotherapy was for me, but I am now! read more

John Bridges is the best. He has been working with my child and has done an amazing job with her. If you are looking for someone with compassion understanding and non-judgemental to work with you child in a positive way, I would call him. We will continue to work with him as long as he is still practicing. Shannon read more

I cannot endorse John Bridges enough!!! Everything about my experience with him was incredibly professional, patient, kind, and life changing! Right from the very start, he wanted to bring me in for a free general consultation just so he could build a foundational relationship and understanding about the issues I am dealing with. He spent an hour listening and patiently offering forth suggestions about how we could move forward. He was very transparent about prices, and even worked with me to build a plan best suited to myself price wise. During my next few sessions with John, I will first off say I was skeptical if this was even going to work. That being said, I am beyond happy that this has been the most effective treatment for me to not only overcome a lot of my OCD obsessions, but also to gain more general confidence on how to proceed in life. I would strongly recommend John Bridges to anyone seeking to try hypnotherapy as a means to overcome ANY struggle they may be going through. And again keep in mind, the first hour consultation is completely free! So there's literally no harm in at least going to speak with him, and you can determine if he is the right fit for you or not. But I am sure you will find that he is. Thank you for all your help John! Spencer Keene read more

I hesitate to write a negative review because I am sure he has the best intentions and has success with clients. However, I had a really bad experience and he completely wasted my time. I found him on Groupon so I thought I'd try it out. I listened to him jabber on for over an hour about everything except me and my problem (basically talked about himself, his family, experience with people in my profession, etc). I felt like he just wasting my precious time. Finally, I politely asked him when we would get to the actual hypnotherapy session. Turns out he does't do hypnosis in the first session and there is a minimum of 4 sessions required at $700. This was never communicated to me when making my appointment. Also turns out his Groupon deal ended according to him (except not actually ended on the website) and he went on and on about the issues he's had with Groupon telling me even though he's not getting anything from Groupon for it, he'd still honor it. Finally, he said he's very selective about the clients he takes on and could see it wasn't a fit after I expressed my hesitancy to commit to 4 sessions at $700 because of my busy schedule. When I left, he told me I would not be successful. I'm sure if you have the time and patience to commit to him, he has success with clients. But I don't appreciate when people waste my time. read more

I recently completed a series of four sessions with John Bridges, after seeing him initially for a complimentary introductory session which was conducted in a totally non-pressure, non-judgemental environment. As we talked about my issue, I got the impression that he genuinely cared about me as a person, and that he would do whatever he could to help me. So right from the start I was confident he would be able to help me. And as it turned out, my confidence was warranted: We did the sessions over about a one month period, and I am happy to report that my issue has been largely resolved, but more importantly I feel better about myself in general - more self-confident and assured. So obviously I would recommend Bridges Hypnosis Center to anyone who has unresolved issues of whatever nature they may be. read more
