Just pressing through the awkwardness, looking at those feelings anyway and sharing about them is exactly what it takes to dissipate them. I submit that you must already have done a good deal of that, perhaps without noticing ("You mean I've been speaking prose all my life?!" ) or you wouldn't be close enough to your current feelings of shame, guilt and awkwardness to be talking about them now.

Tomorrow may be another story.
So when tomorrow comes, accept it, observe it, and let it flow. And (I'll tell you a secret) if you should ever find you're not willing to do that -- simply accept that you're not willing, observe it and let it flow with the rest of it.

But you already knew that, didn't you?
Thanks for this!
