Simple meditation alleviates the discomfort of a lot of the symptoms for short periods, but does little to transform it into something more useful.
And Namaste said: "Do you ever experience streams of consciousness from past lives that are extremely positive/loving in nature? I wonder if, after training, these could be consciously induced..."
That's what I did when I went through a PTSD program with a psychologist. You tell some one (like a psychologist) about your bad moments over and over and over again, til they are no longer emotionally charged. Then you go through those moments in details with your current sober conscious mind. You do that couple of times too. Then psychologist usually says some great wise words, if you are lucky you get a hug (I got one!) and after a while those moments are either replaced by better memories, or cease to come. Is it flashbacks that you have or what is it?
Ra suggests this as well. When you get angry. Love the anger. Go over it continuously in your mind until you come to a place of acceptance of the other self. I can say it works great.
