NISUDA | The reaction that's been running your life — named in 90 minutes, or you don't pay.

Three disciplines. One law.

Don't force the outcome — find the exact point, apply the smallest precise touch. If the same law holds in all three, it isn't a trick.

心

Psychology

Progress Psychology. Eight functions, ten spheres of interaction with reality. The right question surfaces the reaction you can't see alone — because you're inside it.

Diploma 2014 · Progress Psychology since 2023

体

Body

Cranio-integrative techniques, massage, osteopathy. Not forcing the body — listening for where it already wants to go.

Trained since 2013 · rehabilitation centre 2014

動

Movement

Bujinkan martial arts in Chiba. Two centimeters of difference in hand position — the gap between nothing happening and everything changing.

18 years training · instructor license

How this differs from talk therapy or CBT: most therapy applies general techniques to you. Progress Psychology maps where exactly you're stuck — which of the 8 functions⁴ in which of the 10 spheres — and works that intersection. Not a toolkit. A coordinate.

"I thought my case was severe and would take years. After the first session I already felt relief. After the second, I felt like I had reset."
Alena — Russia · "years of work" reset in 2 sessions¹

"I knew my ideal self — but only in my head. With Ivan's help I found what I needed to do, and actually executed it."

Kaori · Japan → from knowing to doing

"He worked through a childhood pattern I hadn't named — the root of what kept repeating."

Fania · Russia

"Unexplained stomach pain. Through his work I learned it was psychological. My symptoms improved."

Erina · Japan → psychosomatic pain resolved

"My view of the world, people, and myself has changed. No more irritability over small things, no resentment toward friends and family. I feel genuinely good and calm inside."

Alina · Russia → calm restored

"It seemed so hard to even say what was wrong. My problems are still mine — but I see where and how to move."

Lena · Russia → direction after feeling stuck

鏡 The Mirror Test — try it now

Think of the person who irritates you most.

Not dislike — irritates. The one who gets under your skin in seconds, even when you'd rather not care.

That reaction usually isn't about them.

Something in you reacted before you decided to — a signal your body learned to reject long ago. They hold a piece of you. One you buried.

You are not seeing them. You are seeing what you buried.

That flicker you just felt? This page didn't describe the method — it ran it. Finding that signal and shifting it at the root is exactly what a session does.

Book a session

Three steps. No tricks — just your own reaction, observed.

Inside the ninety minutes.

No preparation, no intake form to fill in first. This is how the time actually runs.

0–20 min

What we're looking at

You talk, I ask. Most people arrive with a situation, not a pattern — we find which reaction is actually running underneath it.

20–70 min

Where it lives

We locate the exact coordinate — which of the eight functions, in which of the ten spheres. This is the part you can't do alone, because you're inside it.

70–90 min

One step out

A single concrete thing you test in real life before we speak again. You leave with the pattern named, in your own words.

Name. Shift. Root.

The first two centimeters of clarity come in session one. From there you choose how deep we take it.

I take four new clients a month, so the work stays close and unhurried.

The session price never changes — $100 every time. What changes is how many, and what's held around them. You can also pay session by session — $100 each. That's four sessions with nothing between them: no intake, no summaries, no check-ins, no workbook analysis, no follow-up. The Shift is the same money, held together.

Not sure which? Start with The Naming. Every tier begins with the same first 90 minutes.

THE FIRST-SESSION PROMISE

If you can't name the reaction running you — in one sentence — the session is free.

After our first 90 minutes, if you can't put the exact reaction that's been repeating in your life into plain language, you don't pay. No questions, no follow-up. The first session is, above all, diagnostic — by the end, the pattern usually has a name.

Nothing to prepare. You don't need to know what's wrong before we start — finding that is the work. Clients join from Russia, Europe and Japan — we find a time that works from your city, not mine.

I take four new clients a month, so the work stays close and unhurried. When a month fills, the next opening is the following one.

診断 Free diagnostic

Find your recurring reaction in 30 minutes.

A free 12-question workbook — surfaces the pattern and points to the sphere it lives in.

Send the anime edition — same twelve questions, with a character mirror on every section.

Check your email for the workbook.

Couldn't send just now — email ivan@nisuda.com and I'll send it to you directly.

Your email is used to send the workbook, then a few follow-up notes about the work. One-click unsubscribe in every one. How your data is handled.

If you watch anime as an adult, you've quietly filed it under "not serious."

It isn't. The characters you can't let go of are carrying your pattern. The free quiz reads your reactions against 1,500+ characters across 8 psychological functions and 10 life spheres — and shows you which ones mirror you, and why they won't let go.

Take the free quiz

This is not for everyone. If you want someone to fix you while you sit back, this won't work — the seeing is yours to do; I only find where to look. The work happens inside the 90 minutes; between them there's one small test, not homework. If you have a clinical diagnosis — or unexplained physical symptoms — please see a doctor first. I'm a psychologist-practitioner, not a psychiatrist.

仁守多 · humanity · protect · much — my Japanese name

I moved to Japan in 2016 with no backup plan. I've spent my life learning martial arts, gentle manual therapy, and psychology.

My martial arts sensei says 「見せるな、感じさせろ」

"Don't show — make them feel." That's how I run sessions.

I train every week with my teacher in Chiba, write a book about his teachings, and map anime characters to psychology at animeprogress.com.

Regular therapy often applies general techniques to you. Progress Psychology maps the exact coordinate where you're stuck — which of 8 functions in which of 10 spheres — and works that intersection. You see it, shift it, and test it in real life. The first session is diagnostic: if you can't name the reaction by the end of it, you don't pay.

Small issues — 1–2 sessions. Deeper patterns — 4–5. Trauma-rooted work may take longer. We don't stretch it beyond what's useful; you decide when you have enough progress.

English, Russian, and Japanese. Sessions run in whichever language gets closer to your pattern — sometimes that's the one you grew up thinking in.

If you have a clinical diagnosis (depression, bipolar, PTSD requiring medication), please see a doctor first. Progress Psychology can complement medical treatment, but it doesn't replace it.

Video call, 90 minutes. We clarify what's running in your situation — an automatic reaction, a self-image that no longer fits, or an unprocessed past experience — and design a concrete step you test in real life before the next session.

For deep-rooted patterns — trauma, decade-old loops, identity wounds — we work the pattern across emotional, somatic, cognitive, and behavioral channels until it stops firing. Not insight-talk. Not exposure therapy. A structured protocol, typically 4–7 of the 10 sessions in The Root tier.

Usually within 1–2 weeks of booking. If the month is full, I'll offer the next available slot — no waitlist game.

The thing that's been running your life stops being the biggest thing in it.

Two centimeters. That's the whole principle.
