Age regression is where someone mentally regresses into a younger state of mind.
When people say age regression as a coping mechanism/used in therapy, some people outside of the community many think we are talking about the controversial hypnosis age regression. However we are not. We are instead talking about Inner Child Therapy. It is a type of regression therapy, an individual’s mind reverts back into that of a child, usually in order to cope with childhood trauma.
This is most likely how age regression started out (using Inner Child Therapy), however it has since evolved from inner child therapy into being it’s own thing. Inner Child Therapy usually not only about connecting with your inner child but also communicating with it, whereas age regression is reverting into a younger age.
Agere is ALWAYS NON-KINK, NON-SEXUAL – apart from Impure Regression, however those sexual feelings are unwanted.
Some people’s age regression is involuntary (cannot control when they regress), and for others it is voluntary (can control when they regress). Some people have a mix of involuntary and voluntary regression.
Anyone can age regress at any age. Age regression is 100% safe for minors to be apart of.
Agere is short for age regression/age regressor
Semi-regressed/Half-regressed is when a regressors are partly in the mindset of a child, whilst still having the abilities (and sometimes some mindset) of an adult. They can do adult activities (e.g. cooking, playing 15+/18+ video games, watching 15+ shows, doing homework/work, etc) whilst still being in the mindset of a child
Remember:
Many age regressors choose to have a carer/caregiver due to the regressor possibly being a hazard to themselves and others whilst regressed, and they feel they need someone to keep an eye on them/help them through their regression. Even if a regressor has a carer/caregiver, it does not mean they are in kink.
IMPURE REGRESSION
Impure regression is a form of age regression where due to the regressor having childhood trauma, it can to the regression to be dark and scary. This is usually the only time when age regression is unsafe for a person.
All Impure Regression is involuntary, meaning they cannot control when they regress.
E.g. when a CSA (child sexual assault) victim regresses, it may lead to them being sexual during regression (these sexual feelings are not consentual/wanted, they are formed from the trauma)
E.g. when a childhood assault victim regresses, they may experience memories of the assault and may lead to them hurting themselves
