A German man has been arrested after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees.
Dieter Braun, 43, from Recklinghausen said the stress release technique had worked perfectly until he was arrested.
He told police that venting his anger on the trees had stopped him shouting at his wife.
"If I didn't go to the woods and scream at the trees then my marriage would probably be over," he said.
He added taking his clothes off at the same time made him feel more relaxed.
"For me it's a type of relaxation therapy. Feeling the breeze on my naked skin really calms me down."
But local police said other visitors to the forest did not find his behaviour relaxing and have now charged him with causing a public nuisance.

"...just pining away. He needs to branch out."
Also needs to find his roots and quit being such a sapling.

Known as Clint Eastwood's scariest movie --- when Clint sings, that's scary. Did you ever hear Tommy Smothers do his rendition of the song? It ends with, "Hi, stage! You used to be a tree, didn't you?"

If a man runs around naked in the forest shouting at trees, and there's no breeze around to blow on his naked skin, is it still relaxing?

He told police that venting his anger on the trees had stopped him shouting at his wife. LOL!!! Getting into trouble with the police could be hazardous to his health... wonder what he's going to do next.

"With certain exceptions, I'm opposed to naked Germans. I'm particularly opposed to them shouting at trees."
As long as they're not shouting at MY trees, well, leben und leben lassen, ich sage...
