I've never used it specifically for this purpose, but I can vouch for the fact that guided imagery* works really well...so practice "seeing him" with flaws (& btw, the
males typically go off-feed in winter...you can put that 'hassle' on your list). (*years ago I was part of a study that used a guided imagery cd prior to a surgery to
reduce bleeding, pain & other complications- it seriously worked well, with just listening several times prior) By now it wouldn't surprise me if there's even a cd
available to reduce the impulse to "collect things", as I know there's been cd's (available for years) to lose weight, quit smoking, reduce stress, fight depression, etc.
