The dog and it’s tail

In last few months I’ve talked to a lot of stutterers, and I’ve found that most of them are letting their lives controlled by their stuttering. It has become the proverbial tail that wags the dog.

In my opinion, the first step towards controlling stuttering will be to give it only it’s due importance. Life goes much beyond stuttering and we must learn to feel pride in whatever we’ve achieved. I believe it’ll go a long way in changing pur persona and will help in our speech 🙂

Cheers

Couldn’t agree more with you ! Bhow bhow!
Another thing- many of us learn to believe that old dogs cant be taught new tricks!

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.
