The [[Twelfth Doctor]] attempted to donate a small portion of regenerative energy to the dying [[Davros]] to give him the strength to see a final sunrise, speculating that this would cost him an arm or a leg at some future date (or make him diminutive in stature), but Davros used this opportunity to siphon regeneration energy from the Doctor, and transmit it to all the Daleks across [[Skaro]]. While the Daleks grew stronger, Davros gained several more years of life. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') It is unknown if the Doctor suffered any long-term consequences from this, as he was subsequently able to regenerate without complication, ([[TV]]: [[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)| | The [[Twelfth Doctor]] attempted to donate a small portion of regenerative energy to the dying [[Davros]] to give him the strength to see a final sunrise, speculating that this would cost him an arm or a leg at some future date (or make him diminutive in stature), but Davros used this opportunity to siphon regeneration energy from the Doctor, and transmit it to all the Daleks across [[Skaro]].

An [[Twelfth Doctor (Shadow World)|illusionary version]] of the Twelfth Doctor attempted to temporarily cure his current [[blindness]] by transferring energy from his own future, noting that it may cost him the ability to regenerate in a worst-case scenario. The long-term consequences of this were not important as this Doctor was only a digital recreation.

On rare occasions, it was possible for Time Lords to deliberately allow themselves to mentally regress back to the personas of previous selves while remaining the same incarnation physically. When he was trapped in Iam's unstable realm, the [[Sixth Doctor]] was able to use his current morphic instability to allow the [[Third Doctor]]'s persona to take control, allowing him to draw on his past self's skill for hand-to-hand combat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[State of Change (novel)|State of Change]]'') On another occasion, the [[Seventh Doctor]] used the TARDIS [[telepathic circuits]] to bring the Third Doctor to the fore so that he could use his past self's skill with technology to disarm a dangerous bomb, although his control sometimes slipped as his current self tried to assert itself, resulting in the Third Doctor referring to his current associates by the names of his own companions.

When the Master inflicted a forced regeneration on the Thirteenth Doctor that transformed her into another version of himself, the Doctor was able to mentally resist this transition. Manifestations of her past selves observed the strength required for her to resist crossing over completely, and the Doctor also noted that forced regenerations would be even more unstable than usual. Her companions were subsequently able to capture the Master and use the Master's equipment and the regenerative energy of the Cyber-Masters to restore the Doctor to her previous incarnation.
