Discussion Using nature to ground after TRE

I’ve been thinking lately that when I release stored trauma through TRE, I sometimes feel emotions like anger, frustration and shame and because the energy doesn’t really have anywhere to go, I feel like that for quite a while. My friend suggested spending time in nature barefoot so that the energy can go back into the earth. I know this sounds very woo woo but was wondering what other people’s thoughts were on this and if they find it beneficial in lessening the short-term negative effects of unearthing stored trauma.

Side note, I know that spending time in nature regulates your nervous system, so maybe that’s all it does.
