    Hey there, can I add (as a therapist specialising in trauma processing & regression) - if the wounds of symptomatic involuntary regression are born of childhood sexual abuse, then they are sexual. It is important to accept what created the response of CPTSD regression otherwise one can be retraumatising Self by sanitising its wound. Sexual abuse as an infant or child, especially if it is 1ncest, is usual to cause sexual responses to the abuse (which can be stuck in trauma arousal & shame). This rapecultures the wound by dissociating it from its causes, thus not meeting it at all; &, therefore, perpetuating shame & blame onto the survivor. Flashbacks during intimacy or other trigger, night terrors or dreams of sexual abuse (regularly experienced with orgasm), re-experiencing of shame & blame due to normal body responses to arousing touch in childhood or infancy. It must be held as equally respected & cared for as the other difficult emotions (grief, sadness, rage, fear, meltdown) - try to label these without a judgment of bad, rather, a normal spectrum of emotional / physical / neurological / cognitive / sexual / subconscious experiencing for a person with an ACE score. ❤
    I have a book & articles with research attached that I can send freely, for anyone wanting to know about trauma & the ANS regulation xx

      yes- when i speak about regression and sexuality i am NEVER speaking about trauma responses and the extremely complicated and inextricably tied nature of s*x & trauma for someone with CPTSD (especially from SA, like myself) i am making the distinction between age regression and k*nks like agepl*y, etc.

    • @angellimbed
      @angellimbed  7 місяців тому +59

      and i also mean that it should never be viewed as s*xual/for s*xual gratification by 3rd parties who are not the ones experiencing it (ie people who post content about regression are not creating p*rn, etc. and their content is not intended to be viewed in that way)

    As someone who involuntarily age regresses its weird becuz I have learned to somewhat control it in the way that it happens uncontrollably and then i like force myself to not be in that state of mind but its not easy its like almost as exhausting as like physically fighting for control its like masking to the extreme becuz unfortunately i dont have many places when this happens that i can be safe to express it u know

    I do love how you explain the differentiation between having or embarking on nostalgic experiences versus age regression. I am someone who is in on has autism spectrum as being neurodivergent. I also have mental health issues, so I definitely experience a a certain amount of age regression.While I tried to progress on certain skills. How I age progress sometimes is I will enjoy foods that I enjoyed as a very young child like PediaSure or even a little bit of baby food. I enjoy the déjà vu of baby Einstein and the beautiful scenery and music. Although I don’t necessarily entirely change my decor of my room I definitely find myself appreciating more of my childhood memories than I ever did before when I was adolescent I just wanted to progress now that I’m 24 I find that young adult hood and adulthood can be quite challenging and even depressing at times while there is a beauty entering adulthood. I’m taking baby steps to enter there.🙏💗

    I’m thinking about sending this video to my mom on new years, I’m going to be staying at my BEST friends house, I don’t want her doing the same thing as when I came out as a therian, she started asking tons of stuff, “what’s this, what do you mean” I straight out told her though, this might be different cause there is a video example. I’m scared to show her cause what if she thinks it’s weird?
    She might think I’m trying to say I think I had a traumatic childhood, shogun mine was mostly great, aside from when my parents would fight. I just hope she watches and understands I’m not saying I have a bad childhood, but I’m always so stressed through school, and my siblings, and it’s always really loud most of the time. I hope she understands. Thanks for this video!

      I got scared and didn’t tell her :( I’m thinking about telling/ sending this to her in a few days, because I’m going to be at my grandmas house (a whole different state) so it will be less embarrassing and she might forget when I get back to her house, and the. I could bring it up and it would be less of a big deal. I’m still really scared (she’s not even mean or anything I’m just so stressed)
      Bc my childhood wasn’t bad but when I was about 6-8 my parents split up and in my younger years my life was amazing, now I’m in middle school and everything sucks :( I regress because I wish I could be back in the good/ happy times of life. ❤

    what’s your opinion on “age dreaming”? i’m really interested in the agere community and am thinking about having a playroom in the future when i move out and have the space. but i’m pretty sure i dont cognitively regress. but i find that regressing/dreaming (whatever it is that i do) freeing from my stressors and comforting. i just don’t know whether it’s appropriate to interact with the agere community as if i’m a part of it and if i could share content (toy and food pics) within the space.

    • @SarahFletcher12
      @SarahFletcher12 Місяць тому

      You're totally valid! I want to tell you that cuz there's SO MUCH content out there from the agere community that stigmatizes and shames the Ageplay and CG/L comms even when those comms LITERALLY do nothing to the agere comm. Cuz there is this really important saying: NMIK aka "No minors in K!nk". It protects the both of us! And kink isn't inherently s#xual but there is also nothing wrong with it being that way either! And not enough educators talk about that. R word fantasies are common in the majority of the fucking population and its *totally normal* and expected considering how human sexuality works and the effects of culture T.T.
      People are complex! I've known people who involuntarily age regress under stress due to trauma but also voluntarily regress to relax or do Age Play scenes. I think people also forget that "Age Play" is literally just... doing things associated with being a different age. The term infantilism can give more detail. But whether something is Age Play is literally all about framing. Like whether or not me wearing a onesie and doing a coloring book is age play or attempting to age regress or age dream or just me being a human doing an activity is all about intention and framing. Also, its not really full age regression if someone has all the abilities and is operating with their adult state of mind they usually have. People forget that.

    hihi I'm 20 with cptsd and I involuntarily and therapeutically age regress. I'm seeing a therapist for the first time this week,, it's been years since I've had the chance to be involved in trauma centered therapy.
    I have a best friend who acts like my caregiver..and I rly rly luv him sm. When I regress I have thoughts like "I want ____" or I miss ____. I'm so grateful I have age regression to reclaim my childhood and feel safe and shut off my hypervigilance.

    I also had age regression or maybe I had cognitive delay (When a child's progression through predictable developmental phases slows, stops, or reverses). So, when I played a lot with other childish teenagers and actual children, I and other teenagers were laughed at. Resulting me to shut myself in. But during the shut in year; I mentally developed a lot. From 18-21 (my age today) my have mature quite fast though still far behind everyone else.
    I am not sure what cause it. A genetic disorder or childhood trauma.

      DID is where one has been so traumatised that they have split into parts that are responsible for their life in different ways. Involuntary regression happens in response to trigger, trauma, or stress. Voluntary regression uses a portal to reach one's child part (portal to good sex, play, fantasy, body & mind immediacy, fun, human rights, needs nurtured) all regression comes under the umbrella term of autopedophilia (unconnected to paedophilia or offending against a child) reach out for resources x

    I've never felt in the mindset of a child like you discribe it.
    But it's like part of me is aching. Part of me misses the affection I never really got so badly. Part of me missed the affection people give to babies.
    It's not a mindset for me. But emotions and needs coming to the surface. And I don't know what to do with them. I don't know how to fix myself. How to help that part of me move on.
