The second kind of age regression I'm going to talk about is Impure regression. This kind of age regression isn't talked about as much as pure regression but it needs to be talked about.

Pure regression is what people see when they say that they want to be an age regressor, Impure is the "dark side" of regression that is extremely important for our mental heath. This kind of regression is the involuntary regression that usually happens before or during a breakdown. It's when the regressor reverts back to a childlike state of mind to help unlock, process and cope with past traumas in a healthier matter or just to cope during mental breakdowns in a healthier way , as a child's mind wouldn't go to self harm like an adult's or teen's would.

Impure regression can consist of panic and anxiety attacks, ptsd flashbacks, depressive and psychotic episodes and more. Impure regression can look like drawing on yourself instead of self harming, crying and ranting to your stuffies instead of partaking in self destructive behavior, sucking and chewing on a paci instead of chewing up the inside of your mouth and uncontrollable tantrums when overwhelmed to get that energy out without hurting yourself. Impure regression often leaves the little feeling dirty, upset, drained and possibly violated but it is essential to help regressors process and cope with trauma and mental health issues and it is a huge part of why age regression is used as a coping mechanism. Although age regression did start in therapy it is a great coping mechanism to learn how to do independently or with a trusted person.


Like I said before if you have any questions please ask them! I hope y'all have a good day or night ❤️
