Here are some ways:
1. Talking to someone and sharing the pain
2. Journaling
3.meditation/ mindfulness
4. Acceptance and move on
5. Thinking positive to make change
You can release emotional pain by talking in depth about the circumstances of your pain.
That question is actually too broad to give a general answer. It depends on the individual person and may vary from one situation to another.
This is a very interesting question. As a psychiatrist, I would suggest using trauma treatment psychotherapy often used in cognitive behavioral therapy. It would need to encompass all the different aspects of the emotional pain and all the subsequent reverberations of that pain. Would anticipate this would decrease the amount and intensity of the emotional pain, but not necessarily erase it. I think it might be more accurate to expect a decrease in the intensity and the frequency of the emotional pain waves or thoughts. Would not hesitate to go to an excellent top-notch psychiatrist in addition to a top-notch psychotherapist, ideally at an academic medical center, to get every different option that might be available to you. I hope you feel better.
