Testimonials
Sean’s workshop was tremendous, the system he teaches not only has helped me in trading but in life in general. Having a clear simple system to follow that helps me know when I should and shouldn’t be trading and why is really a powerful tool to have. The lessons I’ve learned from the workshop have also given me many ways to get back to the right mindset if I’m able to, and accept when no matter how good the setup is my mind is not in the right place to maximize it which helps minimize losses and keeps me out of my own way when other factors get me off my game.
I’ve been a part of the Sound Performace Psychology Community and I’ve learned a great deal about myself already. A lot of the things Sean talks about resonate with the struggles I have in trading. Sean blends his experiences as both a psychotherapist and a trader. As such, not only does he understand the common struggles of traders, but he can give science-based insight as to why we have them as well as a path to resolve them. I highly recommend joining his workshops and community. If you have a trading edge but struggle to get yourself out of your own way to success, then Sean is the guy who can help.
The Sound Performance community has been life changing for me. I’ve been trading for many years and developed a consistent edge in the markets. Using what Sean has taught me, and I putting in the work and time has boosted my profitability in a way I never thought would come. The concepts and thought processes have given me a purposeful routine before I even think about jumping on the charts.
This is it. This is the trading/performance discord you might not know you want. I could rant and rant about this, but if you’ve ever made points for any stretch of trading longer than 20 days or say 200 trades with a positive EV and want to be a real pro… this is the way forward. This is the lowest hanging fruit that also pays off in your away from the charts life, it will be better for those around you if go down this road, it will be better for all the things you value. Values-based, mindful living is mandatory if you want to improve YOU. Still thought, sometimes You’ll mess up, fail, and still feel bad, but you’ll be better at what happens AFTER and during all those hard times. I can’t ever do it enough credit. There are very few words that can do the goodness of Sean and Sound Performance Psych justice… This community is well thought out, organized and full of compassion and empathy and authenticity … BUT you have to be willing to do the real work, the hard work, and this is where you ought to do it. I love it. And I love Sean.
The most valuable and elusive skill set in trading, business, and performance is the ability to alter one’s most deeply ingrained behavioral patterns and “right the course.” The SPP community focuses on strategies and techniques proven to lead to behavioral change from scientific and spiritual traditions. Trauma profoundly influences our decision-making, and Sean is one of the rare few people on earth who draws on decades of clinical experience dealing with trauma to run a profitable trading business.
Sean and the entire SPP Community are amazing. I have learned a ton about who I am and what to be aware of while trading. I have learned a much higher level of self-awareness that has translated into better decision-making and frankly made me a better parent and overall better person. It’s like having a big-time performance coach available 24/7.
How do I give 11 stars out of 10 to Sean? He is amazing, outstanding, compassionate, the best….etc. After 23 years of trading, I was at my wit’s end. Why, oh why did I keep sabotaging and blowing up my funded prop accounts? I’d tried everything, I wanted to understand it and fix it (it = me). There was not an immediate change. Sean and I worked together, and finally, after two months of once-a-week sessions, I had a SHIFT!! I understood. I felt more discipline and patience. I was trading better. I was feeling better. It almost felt like magic! Thank you, Sean… with Gratitude.
I came into this workshop not knowing what to expect but knew I needed it. My technical analysis is very good but I constantly let fear, greed, over trading, revenge trading take over. So I was never making progress. One step forward, 2 steps backwards. Sean changed it all for me, gave me steps pre/during/post trading. Gave examples/scenarios of what he was trying to teach. I know am funded and this past month has been the best month of my trading since I started 3 years ago! Thank you Sean! Life changing!
I’ve read most of trade psych hallmark books from the early greats along with meditation, with little to no success. I knew what all the right things to do were but actually implementing was another story. The issue I have learned through working with Sean is that our struggles of the mind go back to the stone age. old issues that are unfit for a modern world. This workshop is the first that gives actual usable tools to implement before, during and after trading. My trading mindset has drastically improved in a short time. The ability to see my emotions start to boil over and stop it or step back before recking myself is key. The fact that Sean is a psych then a trader if difference. Take the risk.
“I joined the STP workshop because I had an amazing winning streak (17 out of 18 green days for the month), but then gave it all back in one day. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion. I have a sound trading system, and knew I had to do something about my psychology. By the 3rd sessions homework assignment I think I’ve identified what happened on that fateful day. I’m excited to continue to work with Sean more to continue to work on my trading psychology.”
Cannot recommend this workshop enough for anyone who is struggling with their trading. Sean is a caring and gifted instructor.
This workshop has been a game changer for me in terms of helping me to be more patient with not only myself but my trading. It is the daily repetition of behavioural changes that I learnt that helped me the most. Having a safe space to open up with what we all struggle with as traders is priceless.
If you are on the fence about the workshop just do it!
You will not regret it!
Sean and this program get to the heart of what makes an actual profitable trader and even better it also shines a light on how you can exist as a better human. Trading profitably means nothing without the later… and this program — assuming you do the actual work, are honest and open and accepting — will take you there! Thanks Sean!!!
This workshop made a shift in my personality in & outside trading.
Sound Psych Community really helped kickstart my journey in better understanding and managing my emotions in trading.
Appreciate Sean for everything, I truthfully learned a lot and it helped me identify where my anger came from while trading and i learned great techniques to cope with anger.
There is such a thing as overtrading. I have never heard of undertrading. Sean wanted me to slow down the amount of trading that I did while in his class and I made it a permanent thing. No more trading on Thursday night, I spend that time with my wife. This taught me patience and mindfulness.

Slowly after joining STP, my profits started to improve here and there. After a while, the goals we had chatted about were within reach. Thanks to STP, I have aligned my knowledge with the markets and a healthy understanding of my inner workings to improve my trading and profits. I still have relapses in bad habits, but thanks to Sound Trading Psych, I can gather myself and recover much quicker.
Man your tips and insights were on damn point, at one point I thought you’ve been studying me and you exactly know how I think when I’m trading. Happy to have u here and this is goin to he a huge help. Thanks a lot bro, appreciate it a lot.
Sean gave us an incredible amount of value within the span of one hour. Ending it with an assignment, so that we now have a clear task at hand that helps us evolve our minds. Very excited to be on this journey, and thank you again very much!
I was sooooo tired of asking myself, “Why did I do that AGAIN?!”.
Been doing this long enough, I know what I need to know. My mistakes are not a function of lack of knowledge. They are a function of lack of execution.
Reviewing failed trades revealed a pattern that was clear, but a cause that was not. I know I’m smart enough, what’s in my way?
I knew it had to be psychological. I was unwilling and unable to wait for years of therapy to address this. Stumbling around for answers, I joined Sound Trading Psychology. After some time participating in the server, I decided to dive into EMDR with Sean to address my root triggers quickly.
What I didn’t expect was how much this didn’t just improve my trading, but my personal life. I first noticed the same old triggers in interpersonal relations changing. That’s when I realized trading is like a relationship. I had to change my RELATIONSHIP to trading.
I’m just beginning to see the benefit of this work in my trading. The first signs were how I felt intraday, whether it was a trade going my way or against me. The “drama” was neutralized. I was able to follow my plan, instead of my plan following my feelings. Furthermore, my EMDR work is being reinforced with my participation in STP.
We’ll see where it takes me, but I can say with absolute certainty I am trading differently. All my relationships have benefited. I can’t believe how much ground we covered in a few sessions. I would recommend both the STP server and EMDR whole heartedly.
Sean, it was a pleasure listening to you. Love all the valuable information and concepts you broke down . I definitely have some “work” to do and to be honest I’m looking forward to do so. Again an amazing session and can’t wait for the next and next and next one.
Sean gave amazing tips on how to conquer the psychological issues that we face in trading. This will really help us improve in our trading. We appreciate it a lot!
Great session with Sean tonight. First of many. Love the breakdown around the nervous system and how to use our emotions and thoughts in trading by being friends with them! Better still the real non sugar coating of everything made it all that much better! Can’t wait for the next one!
Only one session in and we’ve already learned some GOLD. You can ask any trader how to deal with psychological aspects but if they’re not a psychotherapist, all they can give you is advice. Having an actual psychotherapist break down your mind with FACTS to help you understand what’s going on and how to address is a game changer. I’m sure the whole chat is going to be 10x better because of this alone!
Joining Sound Trading Psychology has made a huge difference in my options trading. Before then I focused purely on technical analysis and never paid much attention to how my psychology effected my trades. Thanks to STP I am not only more consistent, but also more relaxed while in a trade. I recommend STP to any new or seasoned trader that is looking to improve their trading skills.
Before joining Sound Trading Psychology, I was very focused on finding that perfect “winning strategy” to become a profitable trader. I thought achieving success was 100% about my knowledge of the market, the “how to’s” of trading. After working with Sean for a few weeks, I quickly learned that my emotions were actually in control of my trades. Revenge trading, chasing, and FOMO were my main drivers, and it was not a winning strategy. I had been trading stressed for months and was ready to just quit. After learning some valuable tools, I have been able to relax and enjoy trading as well as become consistently profitable!
I had been told so many times, “figure out the kind of trader you are”. I never really knew what that meant or how to figure that out. Then I joined Sound Trading Psychology and answered that question. Now I trade with less stress and more confidence.
Before joining Sound Trading Psychology I was trading aimlessly. Since joining STP I understand my reasons for trading better and how those relate to my real-life issues. By understanding the psychology of my trading, I have gained effective tools to filter out the noise and the temptation to trade blindly while focusing on what works for my style. This has increased the return on my capital while reducing stress!
