Play-based Therapy Techniques

🧸 play-based therapy techniques🧸

if you are into shadow work or self help you can use play therapy to implement that into your age regression! I am not a licensed therapist, just a psych nerd, these are just some ideas ♥️

-play out an upcoming worry or stressful situation with your action figures/dolls/stuffies! 🧸

-make a dollhouse of an environment you would like to live in! 🏠

-create a positive story with your dolls/toys!

or write your story! 📝

-create a sensory bin to help regulate! 🌈

-create a puppet show about a stressful memory, but change the outcome 🧶

-create and decorate a happy memory box! 🎁

-make worry dolls! 🧵

(you tell your worry to the doll and put it under your pillow. this concept originates from Guatemala and has been used by modern child therapists)

-use art to depict your feelings, it could be abstract or even scribbles🎨

I hope this post was helpful in some way! I got a lil tired of making moodboards and would like to make more of these types of posts, please let me know if you guys like it :]

All my currently out regression playlists on spotify!!

🍰 Angelcake

24h27m Mostly soft vibey music & lofi. Mixed genres. Enjoyable big or small.

🕺 Baby Rave Arcade

44m A high tempo, High stim, upbeat playlist. Songs you would hear at a rave for babys. Heavy arcade themeing. Think blacklights and squiggle 90s carpets and glowsticks.

🌕 Bedtime with Moondrop

2h2m songs from videogames to fall asleep to!

💻 Computer Babie

1h1m music that reminds me of the early internet(not from the era necessarily just vibes) less stimulating than baby rave arcade but still upbeat and stimmy

🦇 Creepi Babie

48m SFW spooki themes and varying tempos. Wanted to give the impression of a haunted house for tinys.

🧚‍♀️ Fairy Regressor

1h31m Magical fairy princess vibes. Early 2000s barbie movie core. Tinkerbell movie core. Very flowy! Varying tempos and genres. In general calming.

🫢 Nonverbal Baby

2h42m fun varying tempo and themes but all lyric free and instrumental only!

☀️ Playdate with Sundrop

1h58m upbeat videogame soundtracks to move your body to (il be honest i might rework this one)

🍼 SFW regression Playlist

11h3m Most of my regression playlists smashed into one except now including songs from TMNT, winnie the pooh, MLP, old disney movies and shows, and bluey.

🦈 Shark Baby

1h10m Inspired by this video with a lil bit of my own touch!

I really like making playlists so if you have a request plz lemme know♡

hopefully this helps you other caregivers!

👑Tips for littles on a budget👑

This is some tips for tinies (or carers looking for gifts for kiddos) on a budget! Of course you don't need any gear to be a good regressor but a lot of us like toys etc. and it's okay to want them!

🧸thrift stores, a lot of thrift stores have toys and plushies, sometimes they are a bit broken or dirty but there are lots of tutorials on YouTube for cleaning and restoring plushies and toys🧸

🐾e-books, you can find kids books online as e-books which are often pretty cheap or you can watch tiktoks of people reading those books🐾

🩷diy onesies, a lot of regressors like onesies but the prices are pretty steep, if you can't afford them don't fret! Its super easy and affordable to make one yourself all you need is an old t-shirt and snap buttons plus a way to attach them, just get a big t-shirt, sweatshirt or even hoodie and add 2-4 snap buttons in the crotch, boom you have a super cute and discreet onesie!🩷

🧸diy toys, there are lots of toys you can make yourself either by sewing or crafting and there's lot soft videos on YouTube for it, or get creative🧸

🐾mobile games, I love to play video games when im regressed but game consoles are expensive so free mobile games are a great alternative🐾

🩷dollar store etc, while you shouldn't rely on stores or websites that use cheap labor for everything it's okay to make exceptions every now and then, especially for toys, pacis, sippy cups and similar🩷

🧸pull ups, instead of cute printed diapers get big kid pull-ups in the baby-section or medical diapers from a drugstore, they are less then half the price of a pack of adult diapers from brands like tears etc.🧸

🐾learn to diy, making things yourself is often the most affordable thing to do, not with everything obviously but with a lot of things, learn as much stuff as you can so you can make lots of gear yourself🐾

🩷look for affordable stores, lots of paci stores on Instagram are very affordable and the ones that aren't often have sales so keep an eye out for that, lots of shops also have promoter codes they are happy for you to use, for example with my code 'bunnybab' you get a small discount at pacisbybunnie and cozypacicorner🩷

🧸buy second hand, thrift stores are a great place but if you want little specific stuff looking on vinted, swoop or even insta is a great idea! Lots of people sell gear they no longer connect with🧸

Fun fact of the day: Bluey's pilot was only a minute long and never actually aired
