You have many options when it comes to choosing an emotional release technique for shifting feelings, healing damaged emotions and negative thinking patterns.
You may want to experiment with a variety of them to see which ones work best for you. It's helpful to be familiar with several emotional release techniques because at different times and with different circumstances you'll find yourself resonating with one method over another.
Emotional Release Techniques
'Shifting Statements' These self-statements work well with feelings and emotions being experienced in the moment. They work quickly to reduce the stress and limitations we experience because of resistance to what is.
Shifting statements don't actually heal emotions or thought patterns, but they do help you move to a better feeling thought so you instantly feel better.
As Esther Hicks says in the video below, "Find any reason to feel good."
One of my favorite shifting statements is one I learned from Abraham-Hicks. You shift from your negative thought to "Wouldn't it be nice if...? For example, instead of saying, "I'm not going to eat any junk today because I'm getting fat" (feel the stress and negativity?) I say, "Wouldn't it be nice if I just ate healthy snacks today?" Feels better, doesn't it?
The Emotional Freedom Technique is the most well-known of these techniques. This is the first emotional release technique I learned, and it's still my personal favorite. I use it for healing damaged emotions reaching back to my childhood, divorce trauma, and to more current limiting beliefs. The "rule of thumb" for EFT is to "try it on everything."
The Personal Peace Procedure This is actualy an EFT process for healing emotions. Simply take ten minutes or so and make a long list of 50 or more memories that still disturb you. No memory is too big or too small. Rate the negative charge/feeling of each memory on a scale of 1-10, ten being terribly negative. Commit to tapping on one or two memories a day until you are through with your list. Work with an experienced practitioner for any memories that are too difficult to bring down to "O" by yourself.
The ZPoint Process for Peace and the Tapas Acupressure Technique are two other effective, gentle, easy-to-use energy psychology/emotional release techniques.

The past is gone. The only person you poison with lack of forgiveness is yourself. Forgiveness is really something you do for yourself.
