Therapy helps, but in my experience the bad memories will always be there. Through therapy you may be able to combat that and make it something you can recall but not forced to. I don't know if that makes sense.

My go-to practice for this sort of experience is one that is referred to as compassionate abiding. Here's a link to a description of the practice:

Relieve Distress By Allowing It: Compassionate Abiding 101 | Mindset: Perspective Is Everything

And then here are links to 5 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that may be of some interest as well:

Bad memories can't be cancelled, but you can learn to fight them, accept them, and move one. Do you see a therapist?
