You can pretend you're watching your angry memories on a movie screen.
Imagine yourself in a darkened theater, and watch the memory on the screen, but in black and white. It helps if the memory is specific.
Then, run the memory backwards, quickly. Do it again and again, as if in a loop. Quicker and quicker. Soon, it will look ridiculous. Distort the sound so people sound like chipmunks.
Once you take the heaviness out of the memory, then it may be easier to confront.
