Sliders

by Mary and Allegra

Someone on a forum asked about regression and sliders.  We have several sliders.  Some slide for what seems like a negative reason; others slide to feel stronger or more empowered.  The former usually means sliding younger, and the latter usually means sliding older, but not always.

Most of our sliders have a base age or default age that they slide back to in the absence of triggers.  Rarely do they stay away from their base age for long.

Regression....we find that the path of healing is sometimes two steps forward and one step back, or some variation.  It's rarely smooth.  But we've never had anyone regress permanently.  It may take a while for them to move forward, which may seem like regression, but eventually they work on what they need to work on. 

If the rest of the system keeps working, the ones who struggle eventually feel the ripples of the other folks' progress. It's this thought that keeps us moving forward.
