Doey's lesson on Age Regression & Pet Regression
Today i felt like posting about age regression and pet regression!
Now, a lot of people get these terms confused with something that it's not, like things that are NSFW, but that just isn't true now, is it? Age regression and Pet regression are completely SFW!
And i will dicuss terms like age dreaming and such another day :)
Now, first we will discuss age regression!
Well, age regression is when somebody reverts to a state of mind where they are much younger!
This can be as a coping machanism, and can be involuntary and voluntary, to deal with stress, PTSD, depression, and other such things! Sometimes if someone is experiencing a lot of overwhelming emotions, it can cause them to regress, this is just an example though!
Regressing provides a safe space for someone and allows for someone to take a short break from mental health issues or any other issues. It should not be veiwed at NSFW ever.
When someone it age regressed, they may act younger emotionally, socially and/or behaviorly, they may prefer activities somebody younger would prefer, but sometimes age regressors don't mind big kid stuff like horror for example!
Not all age regressors are into regular kiddie stuff, and that is valid!
Some age regressors will have caregivers, caregivers are people who the regressor is comfortable with taking care of them while they are in this space, some age regressors don't have or need caregivers though! And soemtimes age regressors will have something close to babysitters, like close friends that aren't their caregiver but can still look after them while they are regressed!
Now, we'll discuss pet regression.
Pet regression is similar to age regresion, but obviously isn't the exact same.
Instead of regressing to a younger stage of mind, you regress to the mindset space of an animal.
This can range to any type of animal! From house-hold pets, to wild or mythical animals!
This is different from being an alterhuman, some people may get confused, but they are not the same. Though, alterhumans may identify with this as well!
When somebody is pet regressing, they will take on the behaviour of said creature, many pet regressors will have gear like pet toys, collars, etc!
Of course, not everybody can afford gear like this, or isn't in a safe place to own it, so not everybody will have it, but they are still valid!
And the same goes for age regression, people may own things like sippy cups, pacifiers depending on their regression age, and such things like that!
Pet regressors will also have caregivers to help take care of them, just like age regressors, but not all of them have one or want one!
Let's talk about pure and impure regression!
Pure regression, this is when somebody involuntarily or voluntarily regresses, this is normally a happy and fun exprience to escape issues and cope for a little while!
It's possible to get upset during pure regression but it's not impure at all, but it is possible for pure regression to become impure from stress or due to a trigger!
Impure regression, it's typically when somebody's brain involuntarily regresses as a response to extreme stress, thinking about a traumatic event or severe mental health issues, this is a response to keep yourself safe a d let you feel these emotions in a safe way.
Impure regression is involuntary, you can't control when you have impure regression, this can cause a lot distress for the regressor, so it's best to interact with them with care if they are having impure regression.
Before I end this rant off, I will discuss a little more about caregivers for regressors!
Caregivers usually look after regressors, yes, but they also sometimes set rules for the regressor since they are in a younger mindset or in an animal mindset!
They'll make rules, sometimes like early bedtimes, this is just an example though!
They'll spend time with their regressors when they are regressed, if they are together in-person, they might watch kid cartoons together, go for a walk, go to the park, things like that!
Also just examples, like I've said, all regressors are different!
If they aren't together in-person, the cargiver will probably spend time looking for regression activities the regressor can do, and spend time in-call watching stuff with them, or whatever the regressor prefers.
People on here and other places make many activities specifically for age and pet regressors! They are actually really fun, though this is just my opinion!
I hope you all were englightened by my rant and explanations, apologies if I missed anything!
Have a good rest of your day!
