Kilt Wearing Can Promote Mental Health

Mr. O’Searcaigh

I've read your thread from stem to stern, and found it really interesting, enlightening , and enjoyable. I even read the foot notes.

I have always been of the opinion that kilt wearing is in fact not only fun, but is also a "service to humanity". It seems that your writing helps to define why that is, by (in essence) turning the "smoke" of thought and opinion, into the tangible "wood" of letters and words..

I enjoyed your writing, and maybe "I should" read things like this more often...LOL.

Thanks for your shared insight, and time.

For sure agree with self-confidence building and shame attacking. I'm a master's level Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years in the business - mostly criminal justice, psych, and crisis. When I'm working in an office and not a prison or crisis wagon, often wear kilts. Some agency's management thinks its a distraction. I think it shows cultural pride and role models self-confidence. Fortunately, my current agency - a Navajo Nation run residential treatment center for addictions - likes me kilted.

Don't think any of my Navajo clients would wear a kilt. But have met Navajos of mixed blood who have Scot or Irish ancestors who do or want to.

And, medically, I think there's something inherently healthy about letting your boy parts have the natural freedom to adjust to the ambient temperatures providing a comfort that would contribute to mental peace.

20 years "in the business" -- you have my empathy, sympathy and admiration -- especially given the population of clients you serve.

Re: "boy parts" -- I don't know about "mental peace" there but there IS epidemiological evidence that it is healthier for 'em! "Kilts -- for a healthy mind and a healthy......"

You are very welcome. I saw some of your pictures on one of the other forum threads -- great look, no shame there (a bunch of deserved pride maybe! )

There are some who might argue that for the majority of human males, the two are effectively synonymous.
