Is TISA a cure for stammering?

Many PWS have to ask this question to me. I simple reply them
“NO“. You can watch me, I have attended two workshop of TISA but still I stammer.
Again they ask hopelessly, then for what purpose TISA is?? This time I give my
answer with energetic voice. Tisa removes your fear of stammering not your
stammering. You may still speak same as before. But after attending TISA
workshop or SHG meeting, I guarantees you that you will no more regret of yourself of
being a stammer. Is it less if you get someone who can relief you from your 24×7
mental burden and tensions? TISA will surely do this for you, but you have to
give at-least one chance to TISA (Ek baar seva ka mauka de tho sahi). I want to
share some changes in my beliefs and attitude which I got after attending TISA
workshop.
                                 I was
a hidden member of TISA who generally reads blogs and experience of other TISA
members (who are recovered). I thought by reading and getting their knowledge &
experience, some day I will also cure myself. Then I will complete my all
dreams (like cracking jokes, arguments with friends, impress and proposing the
beautiful girl of my class etc. actually a long list). But I crossed my 23 but
still I was waiting for that day. I took admission in M.tech and from here my
real fight starts. There was more time to do something for my speech so I contacted
some TISA members by mails and phone no’s. But still I was not able to find a
suitable technique which can cure the awkward way of my speaking. This was
really a frustrating time for me. I got to know that only one person can help
me, who cure himself completely and know the perfect technique to get rid of
stammering. I called one day that person, Dr. Sachin sir. I asked, “sir ji ,what
is the best thing which really helps a person who stutter”. Sir politely told
me that it is “Acceptance”. I said ok. But I was really confusing. How can I cure
myself if I accept my stammering? But I thought if a stammering guru told me to
do that then at least I have to try this thing one time. First time I told my
closed friend about this my problem in a closed room. I stammer more while try
to understanding him all the things and emotions related to stammering. But after
doing so, I really proud of myself like I won a battle and now nobody will stop
me to became a fluent person like others.   
                               But after months, time passed, problem was the
same. Only one benefit, at least I could stammer without hesitating in front of
that friend. But this was not sufficient. I heard that one of TISA workshop was
going to organize at Herburtpur in month of May of this year. I planned to
attend this workshop at any cost. This workshop was really a nice experience of
my whole life till. Every worry, emotions, questions, tensions, shame, fear, guilty
were started to melt down like an ice. Like I found god in Herburtpur. But truly
speaking my stammering increases when I came back from workshop and I knew the
reason why. I was eagerly waiting for another workshop and this time I took all
the responsibility to conduct this workshop and I successfully done this with help
of Sachin sir and my stranger friends. 
                             Now I conduct SHG meeting in Delhi regularly
and there is no 24×7 ghost in my mind. It give openness in all other aspect of
my life even other than stammering. Now I satisfy with my life journey and no
more regret why I can’t speak sometime that I want to speak. Now I understand
that my life is better and have quality standards than many fluent people.
Thanks to TISA and my new TISA family!

    wow guru! i am agree with your shg and workshop experience.
    e.g. umbrella can't stop the rain. but make us to stand the rain.similiraly shg or workshop may not bring stammering cure but it gives a power and confidence to face any challenge.so pws start the shg or attend the workshop because there is no advantage to think and only think of their stammering in a closed room.

    Beautiful sharing. Yes, stammering is not a very difficult problem to deal with- only if we can talk about it, write about it, rise above the fear of it..
    To do all this, we need a group, a facilitating environment..
    And this is why, I appeal everyone to participate in SHG, whenever and wherever they can..
    Abhishek- your Umbrella is good- keep it in good condition!
