Sir, your inner self has one and only one master: YOU

How do you command your inner self? Learn to love yourself like you would love another. Better still, learn to love yourself more than you would love another.

You are in control.

all because of some traumatic event that happened eons ago that is way beyond my conscious awareness.
I seriously doubt that. I think that your 'traumatic event' is just an easy excuse for you to prevent yourself from taking long and hard looks at who you really are. Obviously this excuse is no longer working to your benefit, so let it go.

You don't need therapy. You don't need the frustration.

You do need to stop hiding behind excuses and start getting to know yourself.
