I know I definately regress in therapy at times, not on purpose but sometimes I would hear something I said and If would sound so child like. Or sometimes I say something and my T just smiles at me and it makes me realise it. I have BPD and have read a lot on it and many people with it (or in your case with tendancies of bpd) are very childlike. Some researchers say that really a person with BPd can be like dealing with a child who is trying to function in an adult body and world...thats totally how life feels for me. Although at the same time i can be extremely mature...far more mature than I probably should be for my age...so its confusing. For people with BPD usually they do have a deep need to be cared for, in the way a child does, possibly due to issues from the past etc.
