Purpose of therapy, imo:
Healing
Understanding
Grow and Discover
Self-awareness
(Spells HUGS!)
Regression, I believe, is to have childish reactions to something. For example, an adult having a temper tantrum in response to someone saying they could not lend them money. It's not always as extreme as that and it can be a healthy thing too. (Rocking to calm yourself when upset, for example.) It's only a problem if it becomes extreme and constant.
