💜 what is agere/age regression 💜

Age regression is when a person's thoughts, emotions, and behavior revert to an earlier stage of development. For example, an older child might begin behaving more similarly to a younger child. The early psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud defined age regression as an unconscious defense mechanism.

Is it okay to age regress?

Age regression is a temporary or long-term reversal of behavior to earlier states of development. It is normal and expected in children but does occur in adulthood as well. People sometimes revert to childlike behavior to cope with trauma, stress, severe illness, or mental health disorders.

What are signs of age regression?

People who practice age regression may begin showing juvenile behaviors like thumb-sucking or whining. Others may refuse to engage in adult conversations and handle issues they're facing. Age regression is sometimes used in psychology and hypnotherapy.
