I [38F] age regress due to trauma AMA

My whole life I surpressed an instinct to revert to childhood things as a therapeutic means of coping with life. Last year I came to terms with the existence of a little part of me that needs nurtured and shouldn't be ignored. I suffered complex trauma of various types as a child. At times I involuntarily regress due to stress and start to act and talk as if I am 7. I'm doing this AMA as a means of trauma advocacy
