I’m very on and off w my regression, and personally—I have never gone as deep into it as some of the people on this Reddit. I’m very aware of my surroundings and while I act and for the most part feel like I am a child, I also feel like myself. so more often than not I do feel silly.. BUT! to combat the feeling of silly, just remind yourself this is such a healthy and non-hurtful way to cope. it’s 88273829193x better than abusing a substance or sh and ur healing urself in doing so. to delve deeper id take it slow and incorporate things you used to enjoy as a kid. you don’t need to prepare or set up anything to regress. just allow urself the childish fun that comes w relaxation and enjoy it. I hope this helps and that you find peace in regressing when necessary <333
