Welcome to The Inner Game of Real Estate Success with high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter.

In this episode of The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, Paul breaks down how past experiences create beliefs and behaviors designed to protect you in the moment—but often end up holding you back as you try to reach the next level. You’ll learn why these patterns form, how they quietly shape confidence, decision-making, and communication under pressure, and why more information or strategy won’t resolve them.

This episode introduces memory reconsolidation and explains how hypnosis works to help you safely unlearn outdated beliefs and behaviors at the subconscious level. Paul clarifies what hypnosis is not, what it actually is, the science behind it, and how he uses it with high-performing real estate agents to release protective patterns that once served them—but now limit growth, leadership, and next-level performance.
