I've been starting to practice very simple "loving prayer".
It's so simple that it actually has taken me quite a long time to come to realize that this is effectively all you need to produce healing. Love, itself, is the healing...

You may believe that you need to get love from someone important. Maybe a spouse or a friend or a child or parent.
But this love that you think you need from them, is a substitute for the love of God.

You can feel very sorry for yourself because of how other people seem to mistreat you or how...
If I get my love from God, and you get your love from God, we can love each other as ourselves.
But this doesn't mean you are getting your love from me, or that I am getting my love from you....
