10, 11 Some of the behaviors associated with childhood tantrums include shouting, screaming, crying, falling to the floor, flailing their extremities, hitting, kicking, throwing items, and having breath-holding spells. 9 Moreover, temper tantrums are a frequent reason for referral to behavior therapists and are among the most common behavior problems of childhood.
8 In fact, preschoolers with a DSM-IV diagnosis (such as depression) displayed significantly more violence during tantrums (with a difficult recovery) compared to healthy preschoolers. Many children (eg, when tired, hungry, or afraid) have temper tantrums (expressions of strong emotions) on a daily basis until they are 3 or 4 years old. Regression has been portrayed in a more positive light by others (eg, psychologists like Carl Jung), who have argued that an individual’s regressive tendency is not just a relapse into infantilism, but an attempt to achieve something important (eg, a universal feeling of childhood innocence, a sense of security, reciprocated love, and trust). Managing regression in a hospital is resource intensive and can prolong hospital stays. Regression becomes problematic, especially in a hospital, when it is employed to avoid difficult adult situations or stressors. Regressive behavior can be simple or complex, harmful or harmless to the individual showing the behavior and to those around them.
In essence, individuals revert to a point in their development when they felt safer and when stress was nonexistent, or when an all-powerful parent or another adult would have rescued them. Insecurity, fear, and anger can cause an adult to regress. Regression in adults can arise at any age it entails retreating to an earlier developmental stage (emotionally, socially, or behaviorally). Addressing the underlying unmet need in the child usually corrects the regressive behavior. Children usually manifest regressive behavior to communicate their distress. Regression is typical in normal childhood, and it can be caused by stress, by frustration, or by a traumatic event. Lots of love to everyone, and may you all find much healing and peace as you give your inner "little you" all the love they need and deserve.According to Sigmund Freud, 1 regression is an unconscious defense mechanism, which causes the temporary or long-term reversion of the ego to an earlier stage of development (instead of handling unacceptable impulses in a more adult manner). I've always accepted this in myself, but its super affirming for me to have a name for it, and to see others that regress as well. I feel like my post is a bit rambley and confusing, but I wanted to drop it here to hopefully affirm others that are searching and confused like I am. It's super confusing when I type it out lol. I was always told to ignore my feelings so I thought I was just not accepting who I was. When I was younger, I actually did get caught up in that part of it very slightly, but it always felt very, very wrong for me and uncomfortable. I was watching ddlg videos on YT, but I knew the sexual/kink part of it had nothing to do with me at all, so I was always wondering if there was even a place for me. The people that DID care for me without really realizing it have my profound gratitude.Īnyway.
I think I just realized that no one was going to nurture and care for me, so I had to do it for myself. I just did this as a way to cope without realizing that it has a name. Being an older person I can say that regressing and somehow recruiting others as "caretaker" in a non-sexual way has been extremely healing. Great post! I am probably much older than most everyone here, and I just realized that I age dream and regress to a certain point. Age regression has changed my life for the better, and become a part of who I am as a person." - (Please note that our source for this quote has left Tumblr and we have no other accounts to source them to- 1/13/19 update) My mood swings happen less often and I'm more positive in general. My regressed state is the only time I'm not constantly anxious and paranoid. I've been regressing for about 3 years, and I have never improved as much as I have in these past years. It helped pull me out of my depression, and helps me cope in a positive way.
It gave me a much needed outlet in what I saw as a world of darkness. But when I age regress I am able to express my emotions and deal with past traumas. I'm in a constant state of extreme anxiety without a cause. I ended up developing a bunch of different disorders causing me to have intense mood swings, flashbacks, night terrors, and panic attacks. " When I was very young I went through a lot of mental and physical trauma, and this continued into my young adult life.
