Yes, reverting back is all part of that "one more time" mlc thing. It's not about purchasing a sports car, or wearing the shirt unbuttoned to the navel, etc., it's about going back and trying to fill in the gaps of the path that they didn't take. They are still searching for something that stunted their growth so long ago. So, yes, they all revert back when they are in this type of crisis.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
