Chennai Meeting 31st Jan

We met again today at 6 pm at YWCA. About 30 people. Discussions lasted for about 3 hours. At times, we had to request people to curtail their comments. Everyone was given a chance to share their thoughts. We also had to frequently emphasise that self-acceptance is more important and effective in the long run- rather than desperately looking for “cure” in the short term. sachin shared a small inspirational video with participants about an individual with no limbs (Phocomelia). The message was- never give up and keep trying. Mr Manimaran very ably facilitated the meeting.

Sachin, can you tell me where I can find the inspirational video about the man with no limbs? I’m very interested in seeing it.

Cheers,

Hiten

What is Self Help?

Since there is no medical cure and available therapy almost always ends in relapse and self-blame, it makes sense to develop problem solving skills on our own: you would surely learn to fix running repairs if you are going on a world tour, instead of carrying your mechanic with you. It is all the more useful since it is practiced in a group. You develop social and communication skills, instead of chasing fluency alone. TISA promotes four core techniques: Bouncing, Prolongation, Pausing and Voluntary stammering. In addition, we share and practice many more skills/ approaches: listening, Body language, team skills, leadership, self-assertion, peer counseling- above all being a member of a vibrant community, through fair give and take.
