Reset® for EMS Students, Lone Star College, Houston

In January 2019, we taught Reset® to EMS students at Lone Star College in Houston. Mentally and physically demanding, Emergency Medical Service work involves life and death situations, and is linked to high incidences of PTSD and depression. Before Reset®, senior paramedics discussed the risks of taking stress home after work, the pitfalls of talk therapy, the value of self-care as preventive medicine, and how useful self-care tools like Reset® would have been to them when they first started-out in the field. The students noted physical and mental benefits after Reset®, and many felt that it would benefit them in their future work and life.

Reset® for Nursing Students, Lone Star College, Houston

In January 2019, we taught Reset® to nursing students at Lone Star College in Houston. Work-related stress in the health professions is higher than average, and nursing students often find that practicals, night shifts, and the sheer volume of study involved leaves them with no time or energy to practice self-care. Reset® can help. It is quickly learned, uses little time or energy, and can be done anywhere (right before an exam, or just after a shift) with immediate effect. The nursing students reported mental and physical benefits after Reset®, felt able to use it as self-care, and felt that doing so would benefit them in both their future work and lives.

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 prevalent in many big cities. 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® at a Houston Housing Association. Sources of stress identified were long periods of sitting, talking by phone or in person to customers, and handling complaints. During Reset®, we explained how each of the steps can be used in each situation. Before and After reports of feelings, emotions, and physical condition showed that Reset® was highly beneficial. Before and After photos of each attendee's face showed changes in muscle tone around the eyes, mouth, and jaw-line. The group noted that their smiles looked more natural, their eyes shone more brightly, and that each person looked more friendly and approachable after Reset®. Natural smiles and their calming effect on us are key to customer relations, but cannot be accessed from a state of stress. As such, it is no exaggeration to say that the best customer-care actually starts with self-care. Reset® was seen as a valuable tool for improving staff health, customer relations, 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 faced several natural and man-made disasters in recent years, and Reset® is a safe and effective way for communities to recover. The sense of peace and safety at the Black Cat Studio made it an ideal setting for Reset®, and the workshop was attended at full capacity. Attendees noted various mental and physical benefits after Reset®, and many expressed the desire to teach Reset® to others. We look forward to our next visit!

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.

University Training for EMS

Emergency Medicial Services (EMS) staff like paramedics face life-or-death situations at work.

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. Ontake erupted, becoming Japan's worst volcanic disaster in over 100 years. Via Reset® trainings for EMT at the University level, we continue to support the emergency services.

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.
