SERVICES
BREAKTHROUGH SESSION
Mental and Emotional Release® is the most advanced integrative therapy for mental-emotional disturbances, and the results are life-long. A breakthrough session is a six to eight-hour process where the client receives Mental and Emotional Release® on anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, and the greater problem. In addition, the Breakthrough Session includes a total area of life transformation, weekly support, and integration post-session.
ENERGY SESSION
Huna—Hawaiian Shamanism utilizes techniques like Higher-Self Therapy and Ho’oponopono to help you reset your energetic system and release mental and emotional blocks. These ancient techniques facilitate rapid relief when you are struggling with mental health.
RESET PROGRAM
Recover from an injury, physical or mental, through the reset program. A breakthrough session will uncover and release the root cause of your injury. Releasing the stuck emotions inside your nervous system that created the injury will facilitate a faster recovery. As you work the body, we work the mind, so you don’t create more injuries later.
SACRED INTEGRATION
The key to integration is deciphering your visionary state and using the symbols to guide you in release work that allows the spiritual momentum of ceremony to trickle down through your mental and emotional bodies. Sacred ceremony is important for spiritual healing, and integration focuses on the mental and emotional aspects deep inside the unconscious mind.

THOMAS M. WURM
When I lost my Engine Captain and good friend Mike Cahill. I saw a gap in support from the agency, and my mental health spiraled out of control. Unfortunately, there were no good options through the Forest Service, so I took my healing into my own hands and walked the alternative path. Acupuncture, meditation, and Mental and Emotional Release® are the core of my healing journey. I believe in Mental and Emotional Release® more than any other technique I have encountered because the results were so rapid and profound for me. When I experienced Mental and Emotional Release® for the first time, the weight was lifted from my chest. That's when I knew I had to bring alternative healing to my brothers and sisters.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Thomas is one of the most beautiful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His ability to truly listen to a person and become in tune with their energy is next level. He comes from a lineage of healers and has a gift passed down to him through generations. Every time I work with him, I go away after our sessions more in tune and connected to my higher self. Thank you, Thomas! You are a true friend and healer.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Thomas is a compassionate, educated, and skilled practitioner. I felt comfortable and safe beginning the unfamiliar process from the first time we spoke. I had an open mind and was excited to try something new to achieve the goals I had always set out for myself. Although the Breakthrough Session is an in-depth approach, it helped me understand the lessons I needed to internalize and let go of the problematic patterns and defenses I built inside. With Thomas’s excellent guidance and patience, I could release the negative emotions, memories, and thoughts that often plagued me unconsciously. As a result, I immediately experienced a positive shift in my feelings, energy, and beliefs.
I have reached all the goals I set out to achieve following the Breakthrough session with Thomas. The experience was so profound for me as an individual and a therapist that I became trained in the process of helping others the way that Thomas helped me. I highly recommend working with Thomas and Mountain Mind Tricks, as the progress has been life-changing and offers a new and highly effective way of treating chronic mental and emotional issues that traditional therapy sometimes cannot provide.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Before working with Thomas Wurm at Mountain Mind Tricks, I had made the tough decision to leave wildland firefighting due to my mental health. However, after experiencing a Breakthrough Session and Mental-Emotional Release, I felt and saw instant changes in myself. My mental health improved enough to return to wildland fire, and I completed my 6th fire season. I continue to see improvements in all aspects of my life as I attain my dream of rappelling into fires.
The Conscious Fire Culture is about alternative mental health for wildland firefighters. Every episode, we break the stigma about mental health to save as many wildland firefighters from suicide as possible. We want to help you connect with alternative ways of healing by interviewing a network of practitioners that want to serve the wildland fire community.
You have to prepare your mind and body for the release session. We dig deep into your unconscious model of the world and release your baggage. Then I guide you in creating a compelling future you can easily focus on. The key is to take action and continue the work to rewire your brain into a new state of being. The last stage is going beyond "normal firefighting" skills, and we go deeper into shamanism and expanding situational awareness.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
I tried EMDR and intense therapy and went to a specialized retreat that helped me heal immensely two years ago, but I didn’t feel complete yet. My PTSD was manageable, and I understood it would never go away, but I was intrigued after hearing Thomas explain how Mountain mind tricks worked.
Before my Breakthrough Session, I was still sitting in an ill-lighted room. Then, Thomas opened the door, extended his hand, and walked with me to a new way of being. He still challenges me to become 1% better every day as I focus on my routine and homework.
If you are open to alternative therapy, the work is life-changing, and you will step into your light. The sessions are radical, even psychedelic for energy-sensitive people—maybe a bit scary when I attempted to resist my unconscious mind.
The Breakthrough Session and Coaching program at Mountain Mind Tricks is work, and your reward is deep mind, body, spirit healing.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
If you are broken enough to be cracked open, I encourage you to take that openness and use it. Thomas is an amazing healer, devoted to his work and the wildland fire community. He was a wildland firefighter, so he knows the specific traumas of the job and their effect on the nervous system. After the session is over, he helps you develop a road map to integrate your experience into your life and create measurable change.
Thomas and I worked together in a breakthrough session. After more than ten years of therapy and a lot of work healing my CPTS, I was impressed with the amount of processing and healing I could accomplish with Thomas in a short amount of time. I found his alchemic mix of energy work and NLP to be efficient, effective, and very complementary to the work I was doing with sacred medicines at the time and in my practice.
What stood out the most was my experience processing the biggest trauma of my sexual assault experiences, one I was too scared to touch doing EMDR. Thomas respectfully asked if this was something I wanted to work on and skillfully described the technique to me. I got past the experience to a place where I found peace and wisdom. My body and brain were able to process and release the experience and find safety in the moment of NOW. He led me through a profound meditation following the processing work, calling in and reuniting me with cosmic oneness.
Following our session, I was still functioning. I could care for my daughter and be engaged with my family. From my experience with EMDR, a session on that experience would have left me depleted for a week. Instead, I was energized and functioning, feeling like a weight had been lifted.
I highly recommend working with Thomas if you are serious about letting go of the traumatic experiences or emotional baggage weighing down your "line gear of life."
