How to kill a deep seated resentment?

I need to 'rewire my neurons' to get rid of a very strong lifelong resentment and regret. It's personal and private. Professional counselling is not an option. I will have to do it by myself, or at least stay anonymous. Helpful suggestions are welcome; especially if experience-based.

I hate giving this advice. And only because its so cliche.
I have a pile of deep seated resentment, or I did.. its shrinking. Therapy only worsened it. I can't drink enough or sleep enough to make it go away. Denial is a fire waiting to start. confrontation only makes the fire burn hotter for me, because those involved pretend they are innocent, and its all in the past as though that settles anything.
God, not religion. but God. He is the only one who can bring relief and remove the weight of the pain, anger... undefined emotions. Its only in his calm and peace that I could find my own.
