Change attitude first..

Friends, here are two news items; both reinforce what we have been saying in TISA for many many years: Change in attitude – rather than chasing a cure, is a more practical and desirable solution for pws. Thanks Akash and Amit for flagging the new TV serial- Thapki Pyar ki. Interestingly the lead character- Thapki- shares that she stammers in real life too.. Times are changing!
Amit Kushwaha will be doing soon a Hindi post too, with more analysis..

The second item is again, about a young pws in America who turns his so called “weakness” into REAL strength:

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.
