How to Recover Files from Internally Formatted SD Card on CM 13

I used a 16GB SD card formatted for internal storage on a Motorola Moto G Peregrine, running CM13. But the phone stopped recognizing the card and asked me to insert it despite having it there. I'm wondering how I decrypt and recover the data on the card.
