It
This might sound weird, but I once knew a guy who overcame something like this when he got into judo. It wasn't intentional. He just got interested in judo and it kind of influenced his entire outlook on life in some way. Everyone who knew him agreed that he completely changed.
Well, I thought it was just him, but then I met another guy who did the same, except it wasn't judo, it was one of the other oriental martial arts—I can't remember which one.
And I knew a woman who found that tai chi helped her in the same way.
And I recently saw a video on Youtube in which someone said taekwondo is the best one for this (but I'm sorry, I can't find the link now).
So I'm just throwing this weird idea in your direction as maybe a possibility. Of course, conventional psychotherapy might also be worth considering.
