How Does the Ego (Responsible Brain) Gain Control of the Id (Immature Brain) if the Id Has Complete Control?

Question by Ivory: How does the Ego (responsible brain) gain control of the Id (immature brain) if the Id has complete control?
So the id that Freud proposed is completely narcissistic, dependent and irresponsible, like an inner child. It exists at an unconscious level and reacts to the pressures of the responsible mind with anger. It resists any attempts at self discipline through negative self-talk which exists in the unconscious.

So what does a person do when they’ve lost control and their Ego has succumbed to the demands of their Id? This may be a person who is irresponsible and only does things that are immediately satisfying, like playing games, when they really should be looking for a job (for example). How do you address the Id part of your brain if it’s in the unconscious? How does one gain control back to become a responsible person who doesn’t give in to the Id’s demands?
