The funny thing is, I KNOW this cognitively, but my body thinks very much otherwise.

Again, if this is not for you, please please ignore, but in relation to the above specifically, this is where NLP style hypnotherapy could be good for you. Your brain deep down is thinking different, and you need to get in there, and swop those thoughts for what you in your conscious mind want to think. If there are thoughts/pictures/memories that keep popping to the surface (don't try to conjour them up, only if they are already popping into your mind when you don't want them), catch hold of them, play the picture in your mind, but get in control of it. Step outside of it, speed it up, slow it down, make the voices all squeaky like Micky Mouse, make them all in comic scottish accents
, whatever you like. Then once you can do that, make the images black and white, slowed down, then really tiny, so they are fading away to a pin prick in the back of your mind. If they pop up again, just do it again. Eventually they will stop popping up and be replaced with what you actually want to think/visualise.
Again if this is mumbo jumbo to you, don't do it. And your memories/thoughts may need more intensive dealing with (for want of a better turn of phrase). But if it appeals, seek a proper NLP expert out. I am not one, but this is just a little tool that works for me.
