I thought to mention that my mother in law, Mrs. Rita Finn was on the Kinder-transport that her parents sent her on to save her from the Nazis. But though being saved, she was severely abused in England which gave her a lifelong hatred of men. Still she struggled to be a good wife and raise good children--which she did. After all the only reason my wife got married to me was that I was at Shar Yashuv --an authentic Litvak Yeshiva and she could feel and sense the taste of authentic Torah.
It is sad that the difficulties that people go through can end up defining them.
But I do not think there is any cure for this sort of thing. People's emotional wounds can be much deeper than physical wounds.
Still I do have one suggestion, Musar. That is the idea of Rav Israel Salanter to learn the canonical four books of ethics, חובות לבבות מסילת ישרים שערי תשובה אורחות צדיקים for learning the right attitudes can go a long way to reliving one from the burden of harmful attitudes.
