Help?? Searching for articles!

[princesspaci]

I am helping put together a post for “how to tell your therapist about your regression”. I know my therapist told me about regression as a valid coping mechanism and gave me many articles! However, I have searched and have not been able to find these articles, or anything similar, I can only find hypnotic age regression therapy. I am looking for the benefits of regression in the cg/l type of way. If anyone has any articles that I could use please link them here!! I would greatly appreciate it!!

What are the articles she suggested for you? Where have you tried searching for them? 

 

I doubt there are many studies or articles about on regression in cg/l relationships. I've never read anything on hypnotic age regression therapy but perhaps some findings are applicable to what you are trying to write.

What studies that are being done on age regression is most certainly not in a CG/l frame. The regression tools used (in general) is one of energy and memory. It literally takes you back to a certain age in your life, not a certain age and continuing forward. Though hypnotherapy with age regression is rarely as we see it in our lifestyle, it is quite common in a broad stroked sense.

 

OP - if you are looking for age regression in regards to this dynamic, your best bet is looking on this forum. This forum has the most comprehensive information database for CG/L lifestyle (and more). You will find tons of threads about age regression, the dynamic in general, therapeutic regression, triggering techniques, etc. You will find a lot of littles (not all, of course) use the words Regressed and Littlesapce interchangeably, so look for that as well. 

 

Its great to hear your therapist recognizes regression as a form of coping mechanism (as it can easily be), I typically hear the opposite. So what I would recommend is for you to search on the forum about elements of age regression or regression in general for more information. Also, don't be shy to ask fellow members - there are a TON of age regressors on this forum (myself included) and a lot of them use regression as a form of therapeutic measure in some way (myself included).  

 

I hope you find the information you need

It is hard to find much information.  Was having a look at some dissertations before when trying to find more information for myself. Still haven’t found anything that substantially applied to me.

Interesting sentence in conclusion

 

“Often when they accepted the “little” side of them, as many called it, they discovered their adult side was better able to handle the stresses of adult life”

This one is a bit old

I was lucky to have dated in my past one of the best hypnotherapist in the world. What i have learned from her is very compatible with the life style that my little and I have chosen. 

 

Of course everything is on a spectrum, below is my own views.

I see the DDLG relationship not as regression but a adult chosen head space.  It's a way of living and not as a cooping mechanism.  Now if that little is dealing with an issue in adult world, then being a little might make it easier to "regress" to the source.

 

Here is the theory. Something bad happens to that child, the child makes a decision to cope with that bad thing in such a way it results into a non-beneficial behavior.  Now the in the adult world, those non-beneficial behaviors can be acting out, being bratty, angry, depression, insecurities and etc. The trick is to examine that original decision and change it a new beneficial behavior and forgive that child. 

 

So if the little is already in that space, it might be easier to go back to that original decision.  I follow this process:

1) go over the issue that triggered the reaction

2) go back to that initial incident that formed that decision as a child. 

3) Make a new decision that is a healthy response that works well

4) Share this with your partner they may or may not change their own behavior to cause the trigger.
