Line 5:
While regression is not [[LGBT+|LGBTQ]]+ in and of itself, it can play a part in [[queer]] experiences, and affect one's [[gender]] identity, [[attraction]], or similar. This is because one's perspective on oneself and the world around them may be altered when in a different headspace, due to the fact that the mind is regressed into a previous and/or different state of thinking.
==Age-Regression==
'''Age-Regression''' or '''Agere''' is a term used to describe when someone's mind regresses to a younger headspace
Age-regression can be voluntary or involuntary, depending on the reason behind the regression and the individual regressing. Typically, the reason behind regression is for relief of stress/escapism, however it can have other reasons for occurring as well.
Line 41:
The '''Inner-Child''' is a term used by many to describe one's inward child-self. The inner-child becomes especially spoken of in therapy, in which (in some forms of therapy) a patient is to get in touch with their inner-child (essentially meaning they are guided into age-regression) for therapeutic methods (such as working through past emotions, childhood trauma, childhood insecurity, etc).<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=2022.02.04-030449/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_child}}</ref> Almost everyone has an inner-child, as it's rare to fully lose one's childhood-self, regardless of how different one is from them.
==Species-Regression==
'''Species-Regression''', '''Pet-Regression''' or '''Petre''' is a term used to describe when someone's mind regresses to an animalistic headspace
Many littles tend to experience pet-regression as well, as an overlapping experience, or they tend to be fluid between age-regression and pet-regression. Those who pet-regress may or may not also need a caregiver, as they may not be able to take care of themselves when alone in an animalistic state.
