Cochin SHG Meeting Held

As planned, me (Shorn), Prasad and Vicky met up in Marine Drive, Cochin, today in morning. We were all meeting each other for the first time and i believe, this is the first formal Stammering SHG meet-up in Kerala. We had our formal introductions, shared our experiences related to stammering and talked about and practiced various techniques like speaking slowly, prolongation, bouncing. We dispersed by afternoon, after deciding to keep in touch with each other for phone practice and for planning future meet ups.

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.
