![]() ![]() ![]() Regression itself shouldn’t be seen as a negative process as it is a coping and defense mechanism. So, in a way, some may be mentally unstable and are regressing to deal with the instability. Those who turn to regression are people who have gone through trauma, mental illness, stress or are just regressing to relax and heal. ![]() Something’s mentally wrong with people who regress. One doesn’t have to go to regression therapy for their regression to be validated. Regression is a very real coping and defense mechanism. Littles are fake and only do it for attention. Confusing regression and kinks is harmful to both the regression and the kink community. There is nothing sexual about regression. Littles are into DDLG/DDLB/age-play kinks. The involvement of roleplaying or pretending is where you begin to cross the line over to kinks. When they revert, they are mentally the age they’ve regressed to and should be treated as such. There’s no acting or pretending involved during regression. Littles are just pretending to be younger. ![]() The following are a few common misconceptions people may have at first glance: Taken from Gracie’s Instagram story highlights ( and fetishization are 2 of the biggest struggles the regression community is trying to combat. The internet’s obsession with women who appear to look like little girls has been weirdly normalized, and young women like Gracie are frequently bombarded with questions and insults relating to the kink term DDLG (Daddy Dom Little Girl). The community is also very often trying to defend itself from kink accusations and fetishization. People who are not familiar with the coping mechanism are usually confused upon watching Little content on social media and try to challenge the validity of those who regress by dismissing regression as an authentic coping method. Oftentimes, the Little community is subjected to disbelief and scorn when they are open about their regression. Many age regressors like Gracie refer to their regressed selves as “Littles”, short for “Little me”, and their normal selves as “Big me”. Voluntary age regressors can choose when they want to regress, and they may do it in a happy setting or to cope with stress. This type of regression sometimes stems from trauma or mental illness, and can be triggered by both positive and negative environments. Involuntary regression occurs when someone cannot control when or where they regress. Regression can be voluntary and involuntary. Some may revert a couple of years younger and others may even revert to infants. A 20-year-old teen may regress to a toddler and will begin to think and behave like a toddler would, with toddler behaviors such as thumb-sucking, wearing diapers or wanting a pacifier. When someone regresses, they will feel, behave and think just like the age they have regressed to. Regression branches out into many different aspects depending on the victim’s situation, and can be split into 4 types: regression as a symptom, a clinical purpose, a coping mechanism for trauma, and a self-help defense mechanism. Regression is used in hypnotherapy and psychology by mental health professionals, and also as a self-help tool. In addition to regressing in response to trauma or mental illness, some people also regress as a hobby, for fun and to relieve stress. It is largely used as a coping mechanism for those who have faced trauma, and may or not be intentionally triggered. To put it simply, regression occurs when a person mentally reverts to an age younger than their current biological age. The response towards Gracie’s content has shed light on the disturbing over-sexualization of women who behave younger than their age, and the narrow-mindedness of people towards lesser-known coping mechanisms. ![]()
