When I was taking anger management after I threw my W out of the house, my therapist taught me to expeience the pain, bring on the images, the thoughts and everything that goes with it. Feel myself move through the emotions, knowing in my head that the feeling will not last forever. I started doing it 2 or 3 times a week then 1 or 2 times a week, then once a week and so on until I don't even think about it any more. The technique is called "Softening to the Pain". It comes out of an anger management book but really applies to any intense emotion.
So yes it makes sense and the last time I looked behind me I did not see any chit covered pacaderms in my wake.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
