Do you think that I could recover from that incident, or do you think she will never be able to trust me again because of it?
I don't think there are any permanent deal-killers except maybe for physical violence.

She brings it up when we fight and says that she suffered trauma from it and isn't able to stop seeing my face in that moment.
What do you mean "when we fight"? Are you still fighting, or have you done a 180 on that and converted the fights into discussions? And when she brings up stuff like that it's a good opportunity to validate. "How did that make you feel when I had those outbursts?" "Angry and scared." "Angry and scared, yes I can understand why you felt that way, I'm sorry my actions did that to you." Don't try to explain your actions, or justify them, or negotiate with her. Just validate her feelings.
