I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. The subject made you uncomfortable and you left. My only advice would have been to leave sooner, so you did not get triggered. I got triggered the other day watching a movie, I did not leave either because I wanted to be part of the group. I paid the price for staying and when I told my therapist she told me if it makes you uncomfortable, tense or triggers you LEAVE immediately. She also told me to stop watch that kind of movie since I know it will trigger me. Walk away from your triggers and apologize to no one. Hold your head up and don't be embarrassed, you are looking after you and that is never wrong!!
I am glad the grounding worked for you. You should be proud of yourself for going outside and grounding yourself. Way to go!
...I have an exceedingly bawdy sense of humor, but I work to keep it G-rated on the job, because I don't want to squick out coworkers.
I'm really sorry they thought that was ok. It wasn't!
That's why I eat by myself.
