Age Regression

A coping mechanism 4 ppl w/ PTSD, anxiety, depression, loss of childhood & other mental illnesses/issues. It's official, as some therapists recommend & encourage it. It's NOT related 2 any kind of kink, & it's in its majority a 100% sfw nonsex practice. The agere community doesn't accept kinksters or sex regressors as part of it (even tho a few people, because of sex related trauma, may practice it sexually, the agere community is a safe place for everyone & it wouldn't be fair 4 ppl w/ sex as a trigger or minors 2 be involved w/ sexual agere, also, letting them in the community would make ppl missunderstand the whole concept, & also would put agere in danger of being targeted by pedos & being attacked)
It means they regress 2 a child-like mindset! wether it be temporarily or full-time. All regressors r different! some can't help regressing & some can stop it whenever they want.
You can also regress being neurotypical & without having any trauma or issue, as 4 some ppl agere is a good way 2 be less stressed or have a funnier life style.

Agere often have "caregivers" & "baby sitters" 2 help them when regressing. Sometimes their s/o can be their cg. Sometimes they call them mommy/daddy. Most times, in cases where the caregiving isn't platonic, the sexual stuff isn't practiced while the person is regressing.

Agere regress 2 different ages. Some regress 2 baby ages, some r toddlers or kids, & some r teens.

PLEASE DON'T ASSOCIATE DDLG W/ AGERE AS IT'S HARMFUL 4 ALL REGRESSORS

-Why are you suddenly speaking like a baby?
-I got anxious so now I'm regressing.
-Oh alright!

-Why do you have a pacifier??
-I'm an age regression because my parents made me grow up too fast as a child!
-Oh okay! It's a cute paci btw!

-Why do you have SO many plushies?
-Sometimes I like to play and feel like a baby to be less stressed from work and life issues!
-Oh that's great! Should I try it?

-You use sippy cups and bath toys? Why?
-You know about me having depression and, yk, sometimes it's hard to feel motivated to shower or hydrate myself or eat or get up from bed, so regressing and having baby gear makes it so it's funny for little me to drink juice in my cute sippy cup or have fun in a bubble bath, so I don't forget or refuse to take care of myself when I'm having a hard time.
-Neat! I will buy you a bath bomb and a cute adult passing bottle for christmas then if that's okay with you!
