So, what's this all about?

Age regression, otherwise known as "agere", is when someone reverts to a younger state of mind to cope with things in the world or their emotions that have an impact on them. Sometimes it's triggered by positive feelings, and sometimes negative feelings. Lots of things can cause this mindset to take over. When someone is age regressed, they will think, act, observe, process, and do everything as a child will. They will regress to certain ages, or ages they can't define. When regressors age regress, they may be semi-verbal or non-verbal. This could be because of their comfort levels or for other reasons. You should treat them like a genuine child when they're age regressed and you should never disrespect someone because of it. I'm sure they won't mind you asking questions! If you are thinking of the "kink" version of age regression, ddlg/ddlb, then this is NOT what you think it is. Agere is fully, utterly, and completely sfw and should never be associated with nsfw or kink activities. EVERYONE can age regress! You do not need to be a certain age, race, gender, etc.. It's for everyone!

I also heard of "pet regression"?!?!

Pet regression or "petre" is similar to age regression. Petre is where you change to pet-like mindset. You will think, act, observe, process, and do everything as a pet would if you are pet regressed. Those who pet regress have handlers, people who take care of them when they're in that mindset! HOWEVER, you do not need a handler to regress.

Should I age regress??? Or no??

Age regression isn't too tricky to spot most of the time, but it is a wonderful, healthy, and helpful coping mechanism! If you feel like age regression could help you, then try it sometime and it might be your new favorite coping skill. Age regression is NEVER nsfw and should not be confused with such. Agere is a fully sfw thing.

Okay, why do people regress tho?

As said in page one, it could be because of either positive or negative feelings, it depends! Most age regressors have suffered or still are suffering from trauma or mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. and use age regression as their coping mechanism. And, fun fact, you don;t even need to be stressed or happy or have trauma to age regress! Sometimes, a little mindset is just fun to be in, and that's just as valid!

I wanna regress.. how do I start?

Honestly, it's pretty easy! If you want to regress alone or not around family, go to your room when you have free time, lock the door maybe, and do it there. First of all, change into comfortable clothes. Do you remember anything from your childhood? go find it and bring it up! it could be a blanket, game, song, etc.. If you have a pacifier, go get that and suck on it while your doing things you did as a kid or want to do! Allow yourself to talk as a kid to yourself or around people you can trust. Play with some children toys and enjoy it. If you're hungry, go find a snack or a meal you know you'd like! Create a safe space with childlike objects in your room or anywhere you'd like to make you feel more at peace. Watch some cartoons! Some good ones are: onegai my melody, octonauts, puppy dog pals, or other cartoons you know! Allow yourself to relax in this mindset, once you know you're comfortable, just be yourself! Yes, it's easier with someone else but you can also manage by yourself. i love you, and you got this my love <3
