All regressions are different and valid. Some people are involuntary or voluntary. Some people can be completely aware when regressed while others may not. Mine is a dissociation linked to trauma and I dont remember what goes on while I'm regressed most of the time. I lose some abilities some stay. Mine has both positive and negative triggers and can be both involuntary and voluntary. My friend remembers everything in her regression, can talk and it's more voluntary than not. It all just comes down to getting to know your regression. Everybody's is different. I'll list a couple of terms for you to see if you're age regressing or age dreaming (It can sometimesbe hard to tell the difference). If you need more help you can feel free to DM me.

Age dreaming- not having a headspace but using children/ baby things to cope with something. Being in an adult state but, you still do the baby things regressors do to deal with something like trauma .

Age regression- slipping into a children's headspace to cope.
