Reset® for EMS Students, Lone Star College, Houston

In January 2019, we taught Reset® to students at Lone Star College, Houston. With 98,000 students, Lone Star is the fastest growing community college in America. After a recommendation from the Japan Paramedic Association that Reset® be taught to paramedics in the US, and having taught Reset® to the director of the college EMS course, we were asked to teach Reset® to EMS students, nursing students, and faculty. Mentally and physically demanding, EMS (Emergency Medical Service) work involves life or death situations that require split-second decisions and actions. It is also associated with a high risk of depression and PTSD. We taught Reset® to 2 EMS classes. Senior paramedics gave moving testimony on the value of self-care as preventive medicine. They shared how easy it is to take stress home in this work, how talk-therapy after incidents at work re-traumatized their colleagues, and how they wish they were given stress-care tools like Reset® when they first started out in the field. 100% of the group noted physical and mental benefits after Reset®, and 100% of the group felt that Reset® would continue to benefit them in their future work and life.

Reset® for Nursing Students, Lone Star College, Houston

In January 2019, we were asked to teach Reset® to nursing students at Lone Star College, Houston. While all professions are affected by stress, levels are higher among the health professions, especially nursing. Adding to the risk is the fact that those who care for others often care for themselves last, or not at all. Busy schedules, long hours and night shifts leave nursing students with little extra time or energy. Indeed, when we asked these students to define their lives in a single word, all 22 of them said 'chaos'. Reset® can help. It is quickly learned, does not take much time or energy, and can be done right where you are (just before an exam, or just after a shift) with instant effect. 100% of the group noted physical and mental benefits after Reset®, felt able to continue using it as self-care, and felt that doing so would benefit their future work and life. We look forward to working more with nurses and nursing students in the future, and to helping those who care for others to care for themselves.

Reset® for Social Outreach Leaders, Houston

In January 2019, we held a private Reset® workshop in Houston for an outreach leader who works to combat human trafficking. Human trafficking is modern day slavery. With 25 million victims worldwide, it is the second largest organized crime, and a problem in many big cities like Houston. But awareness and outreach are growing. Reset® was considered a valuable tool for outreach leaders, who we hope to support more in the future.

Reset® for Customer Services, Houston

In January 2019, we taught Reset® to staff of a Housing Association in Houston. Common sources of stress reported were long periods of sitting, talking to customers in person or by phone, and handling complaints. As we taught Reset® to the group, we explained how each step can help them in each of these situations. Before-After comparisons of feelings, emotions and physical discomfort showed that Reset® was highly beneficial. Before-After photos of their faces showed changes in muscle tone, especially around the eyes, mouth, and jaw-line. The group noted that their smiles had changed from forced to natural, that their eyes were shining, and that they looked more 'approachable' and 'friendly' after Reset®. Natural smiles and their calming effect on people are key to customer relations, but are unavailable to us when we are in a state of stress. As such, great customer-care actually begins with self-care. Reset® was considered a valuable tool for personal health and work performance.

Reset® for Balance after Stress or Trauma, Florida

In February 2019, we taught Reset® at the Black Cat Yoga Studio in Jacksonville. Florida has experienced several tragedies in recent years, both natural such as hurricanes, and man-made such as shootings. Reset® is a safe and effective way for individuals and communities to recover after such events. After Reset®, attendees voiced surprise at how simple it is, and reported several mental and physical benefits. Many said they would like to learn how to teach Reset® to others. We look forward to our next visit to Florida and to the Black Cat Yoga Studio.

Trauma Recovery, Tohoku

Since Japan's 2011 earthquake and tsunami, we have taught stress-care and trauma recovery to thousands of people in the four most affected regions of Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Aomori. We continue to teach Reset® to people in the area, and nationwide to the people displaced from the area.

Trauma Recovery, Hokkaido

340,000 people were displaced from their homes after the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami. While many people are still in need of support, outreach is decreasing. In September 2018, we worked with 'Kakara no Oto' to share Reset® at free music events that have been held annually in Sapporo since 2011.

Reset® and Relationships

Data from Harvard shows that connection is the key to human happiness. The quality of those connections is determined by our nervous system state. In March 2017, JPMI held a special online seminar on the Polyvagal theory and how using Reset® can help us build loving and harmonious relationships.

Rare Disease Day, Okayama

February 28 is Rare Disease Day (RDD). In 2018, people in 90+ countries gathered to discuss the 2018 theme: ‘Research’. In Japan, cities from Hokkaido to Okinawa took part. In Okayama, Reset® Therapist Sato Mayumi introduced Reset® as both a preventative tool, and a means to living happily despite illness.

Reset® for Schools, Tokyo

In early 2018, Reset® Therapist Shouji Satoshi taught Reset® to staff and parents at a primary school in Tokyo. Their children (as young as 4) also attended, and enjoyed copying the adults, and the heightened sense of loving connection. Reset® was experienced as safe, fun, and effective in many ways.

Cancer Patient Support

Stress both causes illness, and is caused by illness. To reduce this stress and improve patient QOL, JPMI has taught Reset® at events by the Hoa Gan Cancer Support Network, a volunteer outreach for cancer patients and their families, run by Ihatovo clinic director Dr. Hagiwara Masato in Yokohama.

Reset® for Working Women

In February 2018, local Reset® therapist Tomikawa Yoko shared Reset® with 20 women at the Miyagi Working Women's Forum in Sendai. Positive mental and physical changes were reported, and Reset® was experienced as a simple, fun and effective self-care method that working women can use in daily life.

Self-Care and Nutrition

When our body and mind are balanced, we eat, sleep, and live healthily. When stressed, many of us over-eat, and make food choices that create more stress. Since 2017, JPMI has taught Reset® to the nutritional education group 'Natural Style' with founder, Ogiwara Ayako. You are what you eat!

Self-care for OTs

Occupational Therapists' work can fatigue both body and mind. In 2014, JPMI worked with OT and Reset® Therapist Aramaki Yutaka to teach self-care to 60 OTs from 12 countries in a bilingual workshop at the OT world conference in Yokohama. The importance of self-care for OTs was felt by all.

Reset® for remote Hospitals

The quality of care a hospital delivers depends on the health of its staff. Since August 2017, Dr. Osada Natsuya has shared Reset® each month with staff at a remote hospital in Hokkaido. Data shows positive before-after changes on mental and physical scales, with the staff feeling happier and more relaxed.

Toyota City Wellness Festival

Sponsored by Toyota Cars, the 2-month Wellness Festival in Toyota City is a series of 100+ events held around the city to enhance community wellness. Reset® has featured in the program since 2016, and has been shared by local Reset® therapists in fun ways with people of all ages.

Self-care for Firefighters

In June 2014, JPMI worked with a local Reset® Therapist to teach self-care to fire staff at Kita Alps HQ in Nagano. Soon after, Mt.

Self-care for foreign teachers

Since 1987, Japan has employed 65,000 people from 65 countries as Assistant English Teachers. Many are young and unable to speak Japanese, so adapting to life can be stressfull, and health risks are increased. In 2017, JPMI shared Reset® at the CLAIR HQ in Tokyo. Our relationship is ongoing.

Educational Hypnosis Forum

JPMI shared Reset® at the 2018 JEHA annual conference in Mie. Reset® was well-received as both a self-care tool to prevent therapist burnout, and a way to help clients relax fully before hypnosis so they can enter the hypnotic state quickly and deeply for maximum benefit from the process.
