Welcome to Stress Medicine Implementations
through Learning/Education Services, SMILES
SMILES focuses on providing
individuals with biopsychosocial based services at our SMILES centers or
on the web (centers are planned to be available for services after June
1). As we see health promotion, stress prevention and rehabilitation of
stress related dysfunctions as mainly an educational and knowledge
implementation matter SMILES focuses on providing needed tools – our code
name is “man as a health creator” - including biofeedback for different
interests groups. Our SMILES center will be opened during the spring,
actually reopened while we have been working with this concept since late
1980-ties but within a non-profit organization.

More information after January 20 but here in brief the following
is provided as part of the Man as a health creator concept
The CERN TOOLS are knowledge implementation of
C - Cognitive behavioral strategies: There are easy to learn
effective strategies which can be integrated with the tools below. If not
enough Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is recommended where we advise
certified CBT-psychologists. In the C tool is also Biofeedback included which concerns learning to
integrate cognitive-behavioral-physiological systems. Very important when
there are severe dysfunctions and related symptoms/problems. Here it is
important to use appropriate strategies and modalities. This can mainly
be provided via internet.
E – Exercise: There are different ways to adjust exercise to
individual prerequisites and we present an easy way to find out how to
“tailor” and connect with the other tools.
R – Respiration: How we breathe is crucial for biological
functioning and biological functioning influence breathing behaviors. Our
breathing behaviors is closely connected with both our autonomic nervous
systems and cardiovascular systems as well as basic chemistry, This means
that individuals way to breathe has both short termed and long termed
consequences for health development and how we manage stress. We provide
crucial knowledge as well as an easy way to used this knowledge and
develop an own breathing strategy
N – Nutrition: Thanks to much recent work in molecular biology we
now understand how crucial it is how we eat. Many approaches are
presented at the internet but mostly that basic actual knowledge is now
well covered here. This is what we work hard for and thereby to present
useful knowledge to prepare for our eating.
To be added to the above is also social and ecological skills
training where we advise to others until we have developed tools which
can be added to the above
Before individuals use the CERN tools we advise a point of departure in
terms of
Screening or Stressogram (Psychophysiological stress
profiling) which can be done in several ways (more info will come
here)
How to know if education and training (interventions) function?
We use Individual Biological Evidence where we follow changes in important parameters where changes are
predicted a priory and which also have biological significance. A
prerequisite is to identify dysfunctions with psychophysiological
measurement/test/protocols and from obtained data do the predictions.
Here function symptoms also as outcome measures but sometimes there is a
delay related to a number of factors, e.g. operational conditioning that
maintain symptoms although dysfunction generating the symptoms is
normalized. Mostly problems/symptoms are both psychological and
physiological and changes are often not well paralleled. This is one of a
number of reasons that a biopsychosocial platform needs while also the
social side cannot be neglected.
After – if the Screening or Stressogram is repeated after the education
and training conclusions can be made about the general effect –
increasing the IBE. If a base line period is done before start, that is,
two base line screenings or stressogram, this increase the information
about what causes what.
More information how the above will be made available will be
provided here after January 20
