Stuttering is a learned brain pattern shaped by experience, repetition, and neural wiring, where the brain's auditory feedback loop can cause the brain to predict and anticipate speech difficulties, making stuttering a neurological response rather than just a speech issue; while genetics play a role (with 50% of people who stutter having a family history, and identical twins showing a 75% concordance rate), stuttering can also be triggered by trauma or stressful experiences, and since the brain learns from experience, it can also be retrained.

Protocol to Rewire Speech PatternAdded:
So I was able to create a protocol to rewire my brain to stop stuttering. What I found out is that my stuttering is a speech pattern. It feels physical. What happens is that our brain sends the motor signals to about 100 muscles to produce speech. And it's quite complex.
And if you have an issue with that and you trip up, your ear hears it, sends that signal back to your brain. It's called your auditory feedback loop. And if that's not working properly, you can wire yourself to become a person who stutters based on your experience. Now for me, my mother is a person who stutters and I have got three nephews and a great aunt who all stutter. So I have some genetic history of stuttering and unfortunately I became one. What's interesting is about 50% of people who stutter have a family history and 50% do not. So doesn't matter if you have a family history or not. If you do, you're more likely to. There's some stats that show like if you are identical twins, I think it's about 75% chance that your twin will also stutter. If it's fraternal twins, I think it's closer to about 25%. But it's definitely hereditary. And if your mother stutters, there's a higher chance that your kids will stutter than if your father does.
But many people than half have no history. So it can be triggered by many things. It can be triggered by trauma or just one bad experience. Saying your name, introducing yourself can really be stressful. And if you trip up on it, the next time you're in that situation, you're likely to stutter
