ꔫThere is a number of reasons that an individual may age regress!
ꔫBecoming familiar with terms “voluntary” and “involuntary” will be very useful in your understanding!
Voluntary: “intentional, done because one wants to”
Involuntary: “unintentional, carried out without one’s own wishes”
ꔫSo, age regression is something that can be done voluntarily or involuntarily. To restate, it can happen because one chooses to or because one unintentionally falls into the state.
ꔫVoluntary regression, oftentimes, is for fun or relaxation! However, it is sometimes also done voluntarily as a choice between different coping mechanisms.
ꔫInvoluntary regression is “triggered”. Despite the connotations of the term “triggered”, this does not always mean something negative! Yes, triggers for regression can be stress, anxiety, fear, etc., but they can also be happiness, comfort, external environmental factors, etc.
ꔫWhen used as a coping mechanism, age regression is commonly defined as “returning to a time where you felt safer, things were easier, and/or less stressed out.”
ꔫRegression is not always a bad experience, but it’s not always a good one either! Both happen, both are real, that’s okay!
ꔫWhether or not you are a voluntary or involuntary regressor, if you regress for fun or to cope — or a combination of all of these things — that is perfectly valid. All that matters is that you are safe, happy, and doing what’s good for you!
I love being able to regress and experience a second and better childhood 🥺 but I hate the constant sexualisation of age regression like please leave me and my stuffies alone 🥺 also why is age regression a taboo topic? like I'm not hurting anyone I just wanna feel safe and I hate feeling scared of what others might think of it and me 🥺🩷
coloring: If you have a dollar store near you, buy some coloring books, if not, you can always draw
TV: watch a comfort cartoon/movie, sometimes I watch movies or shows from my childhood and they help!
decorate: set up a little space corner in your room! mines has a canopy, cartoon mat, water mat for coloring, stuffies, and my toy chest!
journaling: use agere journal prompts! they’re really fun and easy to do
hygiene: take a warm bubble bath and bring some toys in the tub if you have any
dress up: I know sometimes when I’m a bit stuck out of LS, I take a nice warm shower with lots and lots of soap and bubbles, and then I play dress up!
snack time: eat your favorite snackie! this is another thing I do, personally I like choosing things from my childhood like PB&J or Dino nuggies! Or if you live near a supermarket or dollar store (with a food isle) you can get a lunchables or kid cuisine!
let’s make a mess: get messy! this always puts me in a playful mood, you can finger paint or play with slime!
music: listen to music! I like listening to fresh beat band, or jacks big music show!
party time: Have a party with your stuffies, it could be a fun dance party, or an elegant tea party!
crafting: If you have a paci, decorate it! If not, make bracelets!!
games: play video games, or use apps on your phone, I like ones that are really interactive
If I can think of more I will definitely add more but that’s it for now!!
