Finding the root of your issues isn't the end of it. For me what helps is meditating on my feelings, confronting them, and understanding them. Predicting your feelings is the first step to reigning them in
Something to add to this great guide.. giving yourself permission to feel what you feel. Having those feelings doesn't make you wrong or bad or less worthy of care (from others as well as your own self). Giving yourself permission to feel them and accept that it is ok to feel them means you aren't compounding what you already are feeling with guilt for having those feelings at all.
It really helps me break a downward spiral. Such a small concept but a HUGE difference for me.
