So what the trigger unearthed? How long did it take to feel in control again and safe after this?

I used to get embarrassed a lot. Basically it is feeling shame about being human. We get this stuff in our heads that we will accept nothing less than perfection from ourselves. This is so unrealistic. No one is perfect. Once I got past this embarrassment thing it was so liberating.......
