UCLA LiveWell #71: Mindfulness, Connection, and Letting Go of Suffering with Dr. Bill Resnick
How is pain different from suffering? Why is community a spiritual practice? In this episode, you’ll not only learn the answers to these questions, but uncover the story of Dr. Bill Resnick’s journey as a clinical psychiatrist, and mindfulness teacher. AND we’re gifted a ten-minute mindfulness meditation, a poem read aloud, and a sprinkling of Buddhist parables.
Dr. Bill Resnick is a clinical psychiatrist with an MD from University of Pennsylvania, working as a clinical psychiatrist for over 20 years. He now teaches residents Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, along with being an avid proponent of mindfulness, meditation, and community-gathering as the founder of the Big Bear Retreat Center.
