What Causes Over Repetition Of A Word While Talking?

basically i have been repeating myself alot lately i used to do it in the past but its been more common. its not like a stutter or stammer its only with one word out of a sentence. i will be speaking normally and then it hits me and i find my self repeating the word or sentance over and over sometimes even up to 20times. the wierdest thing is i can break away from saying it but to carry on telling the story i have to repeat it again. i was wondering if you have any answers as to what could be happening.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description it is not easy to diagnose you properly. But I see a case of obsession here without any underlying physical / physiological cause. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
