Hi, I am Pramendra an engineering graduate, working as an entrepreneur in New Delhi (India) with some of my friends. Yesterday, an amazing thing happened with me which I want to share with you here. We were seeking information for short code mobile phone messaging service (The 5 digit number service) for our business needs. […]
It was heartening to see the KBC episode with Mahendra Singh Rathore from Panna, Madhya Pradesh. A lot of issues faced by the people who stutter came forth as this episode progressed. Hats off to Rathore for having the courage to accept and talk about his stammering. As he played the game, there were also […]
Hello to all my busy stutter friends :-). Today I want to share my experience of two days ago. Our college went to a campus placement in Chandigarh. Most of the students of my class did not prefer to go there because it was a tough competition and other colleges were also participating. Perhaps facing […]
Recovery from stuttering mindset is a long – long journey. Why this is so? Why cant 10 sessions with a therpaist or a two week course help? Because underlying beliefs and values take a lot of time to change. For example, you may read somewhere: “Stammering is cool”. You may intellectually understand it but it […]
Stammering is a field rife with claims, counter-claims, guess, fMRI, genetic studies, superstitions, old wives remedies etc. etc. You might see ads like “Cure stammering under nine minutes” and you will also find people supporting such initiatives! This makes a new entrant very skeptical, suspicious, doubtful and even cynical at times. What works? what does […]
Exchange is fair? Always? Perhaps not. For example look at this: “I give you 2 kilo Acceptance, you give me five meter fluency.” “I told about it in the interview. I should get appointment letter now.” etc. etc. Sounds familiar. We all have done this kind of saudebazi consciously or very often, unconsciously- with everyone, […]
Acceptance is the first step in recovery path and we all know its importance & benefits , we have learned many way to make our acceptance stronger like blogging,talking about stammering,not trying to hide it,bouncing etc etc and they really helps. I think acceptance has many characteristics like –Path of acceptance is not unidirectional,we can […]
We have a lot of talk about acceptance. Tisa says we have to work on acceptance first before adopting any stammering management technique. But most of the pws are always confuse how they can work on their acceptance. They think that talking on stammering with family and some close friends are enough to accept our […]
My name is Rajesh Bhandari. I am 20 years old and was born in Dehradun, India. My stuttering began when I was ten years old. As far as I remember, my speech was fluent until I came in the fifth grade. I didn’t receive early therapy as a kid. I cannot recall any major difficulties […]
“..Why I stammer,why i become a stammerer amongst all my cousins and friends– this thought is coming continuously to me? What is the process of desensitization? how can I remove the thought for the time being that I am a stammerer which is constantly hovering around me. I just want to be out of this […]
Yes, dont watch this video and blame sachin afterwards. Dont even click. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKY1b9GxdM&feature=related I of course had great fun watching it, found Nina full of courage and common sense.. Wow, what a spirit! But dont watch it, if you have a weak liver, spleen or kidney.. And if you do click, do it at your […]
Naveen is one of the members of the Bangalore SHG from the very first meeting itself. I still remember the first meeting and was really surprised to see a person like him in the meeting as he was speaking fluently. He told he acquired this habit when he was in seventh standard and that he […]
A young IPWS, who on my suggestion, attended a SHG meeting for the first time, reverted back to me with this honest feedback: It was nice to see for the first time that many people stammer like me. But this visit has killed whatever little hope I had. You mean to say, I will ahve […]
I don’t really remember how I got introduced to the concept of acceptance but what I do remember is that I looked at it for a LONG time as another technique to achieve 100 % FLUENCY! I thought that once I accept it, I will be fluent. So I did accept! Said to myself one […]
Correct answer: BOTH !!! How- watch it..
Many years ago a child could not see the magic robe of the emperor and cried- But he is naked!Of course people were silent as if they expected the sky to fall. Child’s parents also tried to keep the child quiet.. But soon there was a group of children at the street corner, chanting the […]
A good day to you dear friends. Today while conversing with my office colleague’s one of them cornered me and asked a question. He was quite careful in his approach as it seemed it might trigger some uneasiness in me, his 2 year old baby who started speaking very early and speak single alphabets or […]
As a child I believed this. It helped to nurse my bruised ego. It was easy to selectively interpret events: I got through Combined Pre medical test at one go- so it meant that I, a stammerer, must be very intelligent! But what about thousands of others who got through similar tests, and did not […]
