Another way to categorize regression is by cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning.
Cognitive regression would be the regressor who loses their ability to understand and therefore perform certain adult functions. They may forget how to tie their shoes.

This is such a great example of meeting needs, teaching regulation, and showing positive regard to your child while enforcing a boundary 💜

There’s an idea going around that regression is some altered state of mind that is either happening or not happening, but that’s not really how regression works.
It may work that way for people whose regression is more severe or dissociative, but not for most.

It has come to my attention that not everyone knows this so I am once again tweeting:
24hrs after a traumatic event, or as soon as you are safe, play Tetris. It SIGNIFICANTLY reduces likelihood of intrusive memories: https://t.co/XlfywTBOkz
Not all information you find on #socialmedia is true. Some use it to spread misleading news and content. Protect yourself and your friends from false information about #COVID19, vaccines and more: #CheckBeforeYouShare

This will probably surprise some of you or make you uncomfortable, but it needs to be said.
TW: Mention of sex
The notion that age regression is “never sexual” is misinformation.
Here’s why: (Next tweet)

That emphasis needs to shift from “age regression is never sexual” to “age regression can cause some people to lose the capacity/ability to give consent.” because that’s what people really need to know to avoid dangerous situations.

Age Regression Myth:
(TW: Mention of sexual activity)
“Age regression is NEVER sexual!”
This is simply false. One of the many reasons it’s false, is that certain sexual behaviors are documented symptoms of cognitive regression.
(See quoted tweet for sources.)

Age Regression Myth:
“Regressors are people who go into the state of mind of a literal child.”
Only a fraction of age regressors cognitively regress & to a child state. Some only regress behaviorally or emotionally, and some adults regress to younger, but adult ages.
