imagine having a regression nursery, a place where no one can judge you or tell you that youโre wrong.. equipped with either a fun kids bed like a princess bed or a car racer bed, or a crib. a mobile safely there for you, crib accessories, comfy blankets and stuffies to kiss you goodnight. glowing stars stuck neatly along the ceiling, tiled foam mat on the floor. shelves full of pacis, bottles, sippies, diaps, toys all there organized for your comfort. it smells like your comfort scent and your comfort show is always playing. itโs safe, all for you.

๐งThis is just some tips on how to do it, aka how I usually do it. If another way works for you that's great! This is just some idea on how to do it and be comfortable with it!๐ง
๐ฉทvideos and online resources, if you are shy about explaining it yourself there are some great Textposts and videos online that explain regression and what it is, I have some myself on my tik tok and Instagram (I'll link the TikTok below) and there is a short film on YouTube called "too little" that's awesome๐ฉท
๐งexplain, I like to start by explaining what agereggression is, or even ask if they know something about it already, sometimes they do and that can be a great point to work from๐ง
๐ฉทbe open, be open about why you regress at least as much as you are comfortable, people are kess likely to react poorly if they know why and can understand it๐ฉท
๐งtext message, preparing a text message or letter in advance, maybe even with a friend or cg, can be super helpful, especially if you experience going nonverbal๐ง
๐ฉทbe sure, do not open up to someone because you feel forced or scared, be sure you feel safe with the person and exposing such a vulnerable side to them, nobody is entitled to your safe space๐ฉท
๐งtest the water, I like to hint at regression and test the waters first, wearing jewelry with kiddo nicknames or similar on it or having merch from more well known brands, if someone recognizes them and asks about it you know there is base knowledge๐ง
๐ฉทopen up, I like to let people know about my trauma and other trauma-responses first, once they are aware of certain things it helps with the talk later on as it won't be as much if a shock that you might have to cope in unconventional ways๐ฉท
Fun fact of the day: it would take 19 minutes to fall to the center of the earth

please remember that caregivers are people too and we have bad mental health days! we deserve breaks and reassurance just as much as regressors do. caregivers are not robots and won't always be available to be in caregiver space for you all the time, some of us may even need time to regress as well. if you are a caregiver, please remember to care for and love yourself too. you're doing an amazing job and I'm very proud of you for accomplishing so much, be sure to take time for yourself and do the things you love!
a soft reminder that coping looks different for everybaby.
some of us color. some of us watch shows from our childhood. some of us buy ourselves toys & run our own bubble baths. some of us let someone else do it for us.
some of us donโt regress or age dream at all to cope. some of us hide under the covers & cry. some of us dissociate into childhood. some of us isolate with our stuffies.
coping doesnโt have to be pretty or aesthetic to be valid.
