This is fascinating. Thanks very much for sharing it! Do you know of any other perspectives on this topic? I do this a lot, and it would be great to get on top of the issue.
This is great! Thank you very much for finding it! 🙂
I definitely regress to a child state around my father, and sometimes my therapist and supervisor. Even my voice becomes more childlike. I want to think more about it. It’s embarrassing, and it doesn’t serve any function now, and I am not sure if it’s a fear of expressing myself in an independent adult way (the fear of individuating, because my mother rejected me for attempting to do so), or a feeling that I am still the helpless child, because I was unable to individuate, and, thus, seek to put others in the parental role to take care of my needs, as I feel I am incapable of it.

You’re welcome! You could always ask your therapist what they think about it.
