➔ Regression isn’t always something you can control. Sometimes being overstimulated or having a traumatic event can make you regress whether you want to or not
➔ Regression is often a trauma response, i have complex ptsd and I regress after flashbacks, its a coping skill that my brain has automatically created, it is not pretending to be a child, your brain goes back to that childlike state to protect the current you. We don't actually think we're children. We know we are older! It's a coping mechanism!
➔ Regression doesn’t always mean the regressor will want to wear diapers, and drink out of bottles
➔ Regression isn’t always to really young ages!
➔ Romantic CGs aren’t seen as actual parents. Cglre isn’t inc*st role play
➔ Age Play IS NOT THE SAME AS age regression.
Age Play is a KINK! Age Play isn't always engaging in sexual activity while pretending to be in a child like state. There are a lot of "sfw" kinks that a person does not engage sexually (But, to be clear, kink by definition is sexual. Kink is still activating those pleasure receptors in the brain. Someone can be asexual and gain gratification from kinks. Those are not mutually exclusive.) So, by definition, age play is PRETENDING to be a child, or teen, or adult. (Age play isn't always young, sometimes it can be pretending to be older. That's just a lesser noticed side of it.)
Age Regression, however, is a COPING mechanism. A lot of people involuntarily regress from trauma. A lot of people voluntarily regress as a form of stress relief. That said, your mind goes back to that of an actual child. Age Regression is NOT pretending. Your mind is actually reverting back to when you were a child. (Using the general "you", not you specifically.)
➔ Regression isnt always going into a happy space. i regress during stressors and flashbacks and its extremely terrifying for me.
Are you struggling to enter littlespace, my friend? 🥺 ˚.⋆
Don't worry! I have some tips!
I'm just sharing from personal experience - all of these have helped me go into littlespace in some way or another! ⬇️
𓆝 𓆟 𓆞𓆝 𓆟 𓆞𓆝 𓆟 𓆞𓆝 𓆟 𓆞
Refer to your big self as an older sibling. instead of "I'm gonna go have some time in little space." try something like –> "my big brother says it's littlespace time, so I'm gonna go get my coloring book while he's away!"
Practice nesting! surround yourself with warm blankets, pillows, and anything soft that brings you comfort. Have items nearby that will keep you occupied, such as a book or tablet.
Try to make your nest small and cozy, so you feel small too! A great way to ensure the space feels small is to drape a blanket over it, pillow-fort style.
Use littlespace affirmations! You can use littlespace audios or simply imagine them. Phrases like "You're so tiny" and "Can you reach that, little one? No? Let me help.." work very well for me, but for you they might be different! It's okay to experiment and find what works :))
Watch cozy or nostalgic media. It could be something you watched when you were younger, or something newer that simply brings you joy. Try to focus on the story rather than yourself to make the transition into littlespace smoother. This can help keep your mind off of anything stressful that might be holding you back.
Reminder: be kind to yourself! Regressing is a coping mechanism for a reason. You can regress whenever you need and/or want to! Tell yourself you're allowed AND you deserve to feel safe and small. Reminders are a little thing, but they help to soothe insecurities and worries over time.

Stay safe out there, my little sailors. I love you very much! - ⚓

• develop grounding techniques to bring your little back to earth when they spiral. (breathing exercises, hand squeezing, observation games, etc.)
• remind them that what they're feeling is only big right now, and will pass.
• offer reassurance and spend time with them. Do not get angry if your little is easily upset or agitated.
• if the source of the moodswing or dysregulation is removable, try to get your little or the cause away from the other.
• find distractions to help your baby cope. (tv, games, toys, coloring, etc.)
• offer to talk with them about their big feelings and / or listen.
• if they're comfortable with it, take over bigger tasks and set down rules to prevent harm. (Ex: earlier bedtimes, no exceptions.)
• show love towards your little, and communicate your feelings aswell.
• encourage your little to be open about their moodswings the moment they have them. Preventing further damage or fear for both parties.
• if your little is experiencing hyper empathy towards another party, assure them they're a good person for feeling on the other's behalf, but remind them that they're their own person.
• if your little is neglecting themselves for others, step in and stop them from doing so if safe.
As someone who experiences big emotions very quickly, and has symptoms of hyper empathy as well as bpd. I have a hard time distinguishing my emotions, I hope this post helps others like me ^^ feel free to add your own tips on!
