Wow. Good job staying with this intense experience and allowing it to process! It sounds like you tapped into some very powerful body memories, which can happen when working directly with the body like this. This is especially common with early/pre-verbal trauma.

The issue of what to do with shame is complex, and may require some one-on-one guidance, but one simple way to work with it on your own is posturally. Meaning, feel that sense of shame, and feel how it wants your body to be; probably curled up or hunched, tail between the legs, that kind of thing.

Then work purely with the body, by exploring the transition between whatever the ‘shame posture’ is and a more triumphant posture — shoulders back, spine straight, chest lifted, hands on hips — often this is called the ‘Superman’ or ‘Superwoman’ posture. 🙂

It’s important in this exploration to not move quickly from one to the other — do it slowly, and allow for the feelings that come as you work with it. What does it feel like to find your way to that confident posture and to hang out there? What does it feel like to go back to the one associated with shame? Notice the posture you gravitate towards more easily, and which posture actually feel better.
