Age regressions can be split into two types: voluntary and involuntary.

Voluntary age regression

Voluntary age regression refers to a deliberate and intentional choice to adopt behaviors, emotions, or thought patterns of a younger age. It is typically initiated by a hypnotic therapist in a controlled setting but can also be carried out at home.

Hypnotically induced regression allows our minds to travel back in time, accessing different memories. Some may be beloved childhood memories and others may be repressed memories. This regression allows us to confront repressed memories and work through any trauma these experiences may have caused us.

People may engage in voluntary age regression to experience comfort, stress relief, nostalgia, or for respite from grief.

Individuals who voluntarily engage in age regression have a level of control over the experience. They consciously choose to adopt certain behaviors or thought patterns associated with a younger age.

Involuntary age regression

Involuntary age regression, on the other hand, occurs without conscious intent or effort. It's a response to stress, trauma, or psychological triggers that cause a person's thoughts, emotions, or behaviors to align with a younger age.

Involuntary age regression can be triggered by any number of stress-inducing factors and the person experiencing it will typically experience a lack of control over the way they feel.

For example, a person who experienced a traumatic event as a child might involuntarily regress to a younger emotional state when confronted with a similar situation
