Episode 4: Mental Health, Mindfulness, and Mace Windu
Wednesday, 8 March, 2017
Dylan, Elise, and Dr. Taylor The first thing you’ll notice when you enter the new Office for Personal Counseling and Health Promotion are not cinderblock walls or harsh fluorescent lights. The walls have art; the lights have been replaced with lamps - there are even yoga mats and reading materials on mindfulness for medical students. Although these old Fee Hall study rooms were not renovated, the space has been transformed. It feels like someone’s zen living space has been transplanted into the basement of Fee Hall. The second thing you’ll notice is the Star Wars themed décor sprinkled throughout this peaceful space. This special touch belongs to Dr. John Taylor. Dr. Taylor is the new Director of Personal Counseling and Health Promotion at the College of Osteopathic Medicine, and while he has only started recently, he has found ways to welcome students, whether it’s an open house with cookies, or leading mindfulness meditation sessions before exams. Take a listen to find out his perspective on the importance of mental health, how he ended up at MSU COM, and his favorite Star Wars character.
