Welcome! I am Dr. Van K. Tharp. I am the founder and president of the Van Tharp Institute and am regarded as an international leader among professional trading coaches and consultants.


I have been helping others become the best trader or investor that they can be since 1982. I offer unique learning strategies, and my techniques for producing great traders are some of the most effective in the field. Over the years I have helped traders overcome problems in areas of system development and trading psychology, and success-related issues such as self-sabotage.

How do I change a particular belief???

Q: I have been listening again to one of your CD programs where you raised the question, “Would you feel better about yourself if you had more money?” If my response is yes, then essentially I am guilty of self-sabotage. Wow! I can accept your proposition that subconsciously I don’t feel good about myself. I’m not happy about that, but I can accept this concept. I can accept responsibility for that belief, with the expectation of doing something about it. Now then, how do I change this belief? This relates to working on myself, right?

A: Beliefs are easy to change. If you find something you don’t want, then notice what it gets you into and you’ll probably decide it isn’t useful. Once you’ve made that decision, you can then replace it with something that is more useful.

This process works until you run into something with a lot of charge (feelings) stored with it. To get rid of these beliefs, you need to release the feelings first. I go over an number of such methods to release feelings in the Peak Performance Course. The Sedona Method Course is also all about releasing.
