I don’t suppose there are any prayers or novenas that might help?

I would say the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy.

There are many ways to make the Chaplet a meditational prayer like the Rosary. This is my favorite, based on the Wounds of Christ.
On the
first decade, meditate on the
Head of Christ pierced with the Crown of Thorns. Meditate on the different sins you have done against humility, i.e. against making Christ the Head of your life. Meditate also on the sins using your head, i.e. using imagination, on looking, hearing, and saying what you were not supposed to. Finally, meditate on the sins of the head by others. Meditate
especially on the deleterious effects of these sins on the sinner and the sinned, especially on God, the one ultimately offended by sin. For all of these, offer the sacrifice of Christ in reparation.
On the
second decade, if you are right-handed, meditate on the
Right Hand of Christ nailed on the Cross (if left handed, meditate on Christ’s Left Hand). Meditate on the different sins made by your hands, both of commission
and ommission. Meditate also the sins of the hands of others. Again, meditate
especially on the deleterious effects of these sins on the sinner and the sinned, especially on God, the one ultimately offended by sin. For all of these, offer the sacrifice of Christ in reparation.
On the
third decade, if you are right handed, meditate on the
Left Hand of Christ pierced by the nail (if left handed, meditate on Christ’s Right Hand). The non-dominant arm is usually the weaker of the pair, so meditate on the weak and little of this world, and on the sins against them by you and others. Again, meditate
especially on the deleterious effects of these sins on the sinner and the sinned, especially on God, the one ultimately offended by sin. For all of these, offer the sacrifice of Christ in reparation.
On the
fourth decade, meditate on the
Feet of Christ nailed to the Cross. Meditate on the occasions of sin you should have walked away from, and on the occasions of love that you should have stayed. Meditate also on the sins of others in this regard. Again, meditate
especially on the deleterious effects of these sins on the sinner and the sinned, especially on God, the one ultimately offended by sin. For all of these, offer the sacrifice of Christ in reparation.
On the
fifth decade, meditate on the
Wound at the Side of Christ. Have you loved God enough, or were there occasions in which you exchanged God for something else? Have you loved others enough? Did you overcome obstacles to love them, or have you put up those obstacles themselves? Again, meditate
especially on the deleterious effects of these sins on the sinner and the sinned, especially on God, the one ultimately offended by sin. For all of these, offer the sacrifice of Christ in reparation.
God love you.
(Especially if that one is Catholic).
