Hey !! I’ve got a question!
Prefacing this with a note that I’m autistic & that might potentially be affecting the way I perceive myself !! so just keep that in mind pls
So, I’ve heard of age regression, where people mentally regress to a younger age to cope with trauma, and I’m wondering if that could potentially happen with mental /species/? When I’m dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma, sometimes i shift into a much more housecat-like state, so much that I consider myself to be part housecat during those times. When I’m like that, it helps me to do housecat-like things, or effectively treat myself as one. Is there a name for this?
