This document introduces a method from Fractal Psychology to control emotions and recover from feeling depressed. The method involves separating one's "Adult Self" from one's "Child Self" and having the Adult Self comfort and encourage the Child Self using modification statements. Practicing this allows one to regain energy and motivation from within, without relying on others for support. Key aspects include imagining one's childhood self, experiencing its emotions, and replacing negative thoughts with positive encouragement from the perspective of the Adult Self.

emotions and removing constraints
from your mind.
This video describes the unique
technique of controlling your
emotions with
“Self-Contentment,” which is a unique
and primary concept in Fractal
Psychology.
4. Mindset Development

Uncontrolled emotion is one of
the factors that thwart the

6. Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
Study this conversation between...
an Instructor of Fractal Psychology
and an Interviewer
7. Recently, my friend came to me
and told me that she wants to
leave her job. She had been
working very hard to be promoted
to a manager. However, the
company hired a new manager
from outside. She is very
discouraged.
Interviewer
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
8. I see. Unexpected things like this
happen in our lives. We feel
betrayed and disappointed. We
also feel depressed when we make
mistakes and feel like a failure.
We lose our motivation.
Instructor of FP
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
9. That’s right, we do lose our
motivation. I certainly remember
those feelings! However, I think
that successful people may
experience feeling discouraged
many times more than we do, but
they also recover more quickly!
Interviewer
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
10. I agree. It is best to aim for a goal of
getting back on your feet quickly.
When we are feeling depressed, it is
very hard to “boost up our spirit on
our own,” and usually we fail.
However, our friends and partners
can comfort us and cheer us up. Who
do you think would help us more?
Our Friends or partners?
Instructor of FP
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
11. Interviewer: I feel our partners would help us
more. Parents could be of help, too.
Instructor: I think so, too. The closer the
relationship, the more comfort we gain because of
the depth of love. Actually, there is a person even
closer to us than our partners
or parents. That is another
personality in our minds.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
12. Interviewer: Would you explain more about it?
Instructor: There are different “Selves” in us. To
make it simple, there are our “Adult-Selves” and our
“Child-Selves.” We can rephrase them, “mature
selves” and “immature selves.” When we feel
emotional, our Child-Selves
are being active and
dominating our minds.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
13. Instructor: By separating our Adult-Selves and
Child-Selves, we are separating our emotions from
our logic and reason. Our Adult-Selves will then
become able to comfort our Child-Selves.
Interviewer: That is magical! It is difficult to cheer
ourselves up when we
are feeling depressed...
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
14. Interviewer: ...but it is possible if we can separate
our Adult-Selves and Child-Selves. Right?
Instructor: That is correct. It is even more powerful
and effective than being comforted by our partners,
because the Child-Selves know that there is no one
who could love them more
than their Adult-Selves.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
15. Interviewer: Wow, that is interesting!
Instructor: Although our Child-Selves and our
Adult-Selves are usually not connected, the exercise
that I will introduce to you uses the method of
bringing up the image of our Child-Selves in our
minds. We can then connect
Our Child-Selves to our Adult-
Selves, and then comfort and
encourage our Child-Selves.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
16. Instructor: Then, with the help of certain
Modification Statements, our minds will truly calm
down. The Modification Statements, which we will
develop in the next section, are a group of
encouraging statements we say to our Child-Selves.
After saying the Modification Statements, we will
add the image of Adult-Selves
hugging the Child-Selves. This
will help us quickly recover
from feeling depressed.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
17. Interviewer: I see now. If we can practice this on
our own, it will be easier than to wait for our
partners to cheer us up.
Instructor: Yes, we can practice alone. If it is
difficult for you to say the Modification Statement
while closing your eyes,
you can record it with your
own voice and listen to the
recording while closing
your eyes.
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
18. Instructor: Listen as if you were telling it to your
Child-Self. Just try it for a week. Listen to the
Modification Statement for fifteen minutes before
you go to bed. The next day, you will wake up
refreshed.
Interviewer: I got it.
Can we start the lesson now?
Instructor: Sure!
Introduction
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
19. Lesson 1
How to Recover from “Feeling Depressed”
It is time to begin the lesson!
20. Think about the last time you were
feeling depressed.
Was it when you made mistakes?
Was it when you were unable to
do something?
In What Situations
Do You Feel Depressed?
21. Think about the last time you were
feeling depressed.
Was it when..
…you felt defeated?
…you felt that the challenges were
endless?
It could have been when
you did not achieve your goals.
In What Situations
Do You Feel Depressed?
22. It seems like there is a weak part of
you in your heart.
Everyone will feel depressed at times. The weak
part of your heart is preventing you from
recovering. No one will feel depressed forever, and
you will eventually recover from it.
The Weak Part of Your Heart
23. You may recover from feeling depressed
without assistance, but the sooner you can
recover, the stronger you will become.
Encourage yourself to make that happen.
The Weak Part of Your Heart
24. When you are feeling depressed, the person who is
reacting is not actually you as an adult.
It is you as a child, from your childhood. In your
brain, “Child You” still exists as a cluster of feelings.
The childhood part of you that still feels
disappointed causes you to feel depressed, even
now.
“Child You” Within You
25. Therefore, what needs to be encouraged is “Child
You.” Before you can encourage “Child You,” you
need to learn how to split the child part of you and
the adult part of you first. And then, “Adult You” will
be able to encourage “Child You.”
You may be familiar with the terms,
“Adult-Self” and “Child-Self”,
but in this section, we will use the
terms, “Adult You” and “Child You.”
Encourage “Child You”
26. This method is called “Self-Containment.”
If you follow this method, you will actually be able
to regain your energy without help. In this way, you
will not need to rely on other people. You will be
able to recover from the root cause.
You can do it alone and at any time,
even if similar situations happen in
the future.
Encourage “Child You”
27. Are you ready?
First, close your eyes.
Then, imagine yourself as a six-year-old
child. This is “Child You”.
How to Control Your Emotions
28. Imagine the child crying and feeling very
depressed.
How to Control Your Emotions
29. Next, stand beside the child.
Then, imagine and feel the
same emotions as the child.
What emotions are is the
child feeling?
Now, talk to the child, as
“Adult You”.
How to Control Your Emotions
30. “You must be discouraged and
feeling sad. You must be
thinking, ‘Why me?’ or ‘No one
needs me anymore...’
You must be very disappointed.
You just want your hardships
and bitter feelings to be
understood.”
How to Control Your Emotions
31. Make sure to experience the
feelings deeply. After that, you
will tell the child the following:
“Stop beating yourself up. It’s
over. Beating yourself up is
meaningless.
Stop blaming your inability.”
Switch the Child’s Way of
Thinking
32. “You are not finished, yet.
Everything will turn out okay.
You are not defeated.
Do not give up.
Do not hang your head.”
Extend Encouragements
33. “You have such a
wonderful ability.
Develop it. You can do it.
Make the effort.
You will win.
I believe in you.”
Develop Your Ability
34. “You are beloved by me.
I love you so much!
Everything is fine for you.
Move forward with your
head up.”
Love Yourself
35. “You will become a very
great person in the future.
I, as the future you, am
looking after you until you
get there. Feel safe and
strong.”
Help the Child Imagine the Future
36. Open your eyes.
Exercise this modification
before you go to bed. Keep
practicing it for a while.
Then, you will spring back to
life with a strong mindset.
End of the Modification
37. Were you able to understand this
modification method?
Here are the main characteristics.
1. This modification does not have
anything to do with your memory of
past incidents. You can access the
ancient part of your brain by
imagining the six-year-old you in
your mind.
Do You Understand the
“Self-Contentment” Method?
38. 2. Never end this modification with
being embraced or comforted by
your mother or father. You, as Adult
You, encourages Child You. This is
called “Self-Containment.” This
method makes it possible for you to
make yourself happy and fulfill your
needs on your own.
Do You Understand the “Self-
Contentment” Method?
39. This method of controlling your emotions
is just the beginning step of the
modification method by Fractal Psychology.
When you are able to control your
emotions, you will be able to understand
true love. Fractal Psychology states, “As our
brains develop, all of us will be able to feel
the abundance of love in the world.” When
your brain is immature, you cannot
recognize love, and you feel that there is
not enough love in the world.
Do You Understand the “Self-
Contentment” Method?
40. With this method, you will feel the
abundance of love in the world!
Please keep learning Fractal
Psychology.
