“The key to effecting an infantile regression is to reproduce the sense of unconditional love a mother has for her child.”

The Art of Seduction, Effect a Regression

The first bond—between a mother and her child—is the most powerful one.

Unlike most other animals, we humans experience a long period of helplessness during infancy when we are entirely dependent on our mothers.

And our mothers, understanding our vulnerability and desperate to protect, love us unconditionally during this period.

Throughout this stage of development, we can do no wrong—we are the centre of attention and shielded from any kind of adversity by our mothers.

This creates a profound connection—an intense attachment—that influences the rest of our lives.
