With regard to getting back into the air; some careful reflection with an instructor is probably needed, with a 'Low Pressure' plan to regain confidence
Not being a smart-arse or not sympathetic but just quoting a historical fact, but I recall that the only counselling the Royal Air force gave to a pilot during wartime who had just had a prang was to give him another aircraft and tell him take it up straight away for a circuit and landing to get his confidence back. Of course if the pilot was injured in the prang that was a different matter. There was no stuffing around in those days. It worked then but not now because of legal reasons such as CASA suspending his licence.
