Not long ago I posted a photo of the cover of my regression journal, and a few people were wondering what sorts of things could go in it! 

So, for anyone who wants to make their own, or has one and is looking for inspiration for things to do in it, here are some ideas! 

Writing Prompts: 

✿ If you’re stuck for ideas, a great place to start is to write a little about yourself! What’s your name, favourite nickname, colour, animal? What makes you feel small? 

✿ If you struggle with remembering to look after yourself at all, a self-care checklist can be great! 

✿ Write profiles for your stuffies! You can draw them too, or print photos of them and stick them in! 

✿ Do you play out stories with your stuffies, dolls or other toys? Write them down! 

✿ If you enjoy writing stories, make up a fairy tale! Maybe you and your caregiver (if you have one) could be in it! 

Other Ideas: 

✿ When you get a new stuffie, keep the tag and glue it in! The same goes for cute bits of packaging - cut out bits of them and stick them in too! 

✿ Draw or doodle anything you like! For an idea to get started, how about some kiddie or baby things like pacifiers and building blocks? 

✿ Decorate what you write with stickers! Bonus: use stickers to make a whole scene or picture! Draw in the gaps, or draw first and add stickers after! 

✿ If you have loose colouring pages, stick them in or keep them between the pages of the journal! Some journals have pockets in the back, so you could use that if you like! 

This is just a short list of ideas, there’s loads more you could potentially do! Feel free to add to this if you like!
