Why Elite Performers Still Self-Sabotage...

 

What if your biggest performance problem isn't strategy, discipline, or effort, but subconscious resistance you can't see? In this episode, Ben sits down with high-performance coach and regression hypnotherapist Elliot Roe to break down how elite performers remove the "brakes" that keep them stuck below their potential. You'll learn how subconscious patterns form (often between ages 5–10), why talk therapy can miss the root programming, and how physical sensations like tightness, nausea, or dread can reveal the exact block that needs work. If you've ever known what to do but couldn't make yourself do it, this conversation will change how you see your mind.

Elliot Roe is a high-performance coach and regression-based hypnotherapist known for helping elite performers remove subconscious resistance and access consistent flow. He works with CEOs, professional athletes, traders, and other top-tier operators who are already successful but feel an invisible ceiling: hesitation, self-sabotage, anxiety, fear of failure, or fear of success.

Elliot's approach blends deep meditative trance work with targeted emotional reframing to identify the root memories driving a pattern, then overwrite the emotional charge so the trigger no longer fires. He's also the founder of Prime Mind, an app offering guided hypnotherapy audios designed to improve performance, confidence, and emotional regulation.
