Lots of shouting, feeling so embarrassed

Hi, DH and I are going through a rough patch. We both love each other very much, but sometimes DH shouts at me. Normally he starts and I back up and calm him down but the other day I got so emotional and started screaming back. At one point I screamed in desperation. FF we realize we need help and contacted a couple therapist (long waiting list). In the meantime living in a terraced house surely our neighbors heard the scream and god knows what they think about us now. We moved to our street couple of months back and the neighbors are all very nice, a bit older than us (we are in our 30s). I feel so bad about it.. I don't want them to think we are so kind of troubled family. We don't have kids. We don't know the neighbors names but always say hi and stop for a chat. Shall I explain myself next time I see them and apologies? Or shall we just move on and hopefully with the therapy we won't shout again? Funny enough I was raised in a family where my dad shouted a lot and when found DH though he was a completely different person, ended up basically replicating the story of my Mum and Dad, they are still together. My Dad stopped shouting when I was in my 20s, when his life changed due to an illness. Sorry for long post. Need advice about the neighbors.. I feel so ashamed and embarrassed! How would you deal with this?

Attila is spot on.

I'm wondering if the counselling suggestion only came about when you finally shouted back, and if you were the one who suggested it.
