“Trigger of familiarity”

• “There are key intersections in my town which I know are on the way to my mother’s house and if I am taking that certain route even though I know I am not going there I will verbally with the help of echolalia get stuck on that notion. This does not mean I don’t understand where I am going, instead it is a trigger of familiarity, which I am very consumed by.”
