Journey till NOW: I stammer, but that is less Important to me Now!

It has been 8 months I am associated with TISA. Initial months were OK, trying to understand what TISA is! Since I attended NC in Delhi, I became active. We had Comm WS at Pune in Dec 2013 led by Dr. Sachin. Also I had an opportunity to conduct Comm WS at Pune in Feb 2014. Next I am planning to have Comm WS at Pune in May, so folks around Pune will also attend during holidays.

The reason I am writing this today, I am finding there is a peculiar change in me since last few months.I am currently not at all worried about stammering. I have accepted stammering with me entirely. I have told to my boss, peers, team, friends, family that I stammer. Also I did not hesitate to openly talk in professional life to a large group, that I stammer. I have given presentation to clients without any fear about Stammering. So if I have to say if there is any solution to overcome stammering is ACCEPTANCE in FULL.

But another thing which I am noticing currently is Stammering is one part of our life, there are lot more good and bad traits I have seen after I noticed that Stammering is no more an obstacle to me.

thanks Virendra ji for sharing your experience with Tisa.
ACCEPTANCE is the base of good communication skill .
so for severe PWS, it is better to accept openly and must do WORK on communication skill to IMPROVE It. Acceptance is only for improvemnent , not to sit and accept negatively as fate.
