Too often we’ve been taught to view our emotions with suspicion, seeing them as something to be suppressed, managed, or mastered. This isn’t true. Emotions are not your enemy. Internal war is not your destiny. You were created to flourish.
In this game-changing book, trauma therapist and mental health expert Dr. Anita Phillips reveals how embracing emotion is the key to living your most powerful life. Just as gardens thrive in good ground, the abundant life you’ve been seeking can only be grown in the soil of your heart.
Blending faith, the latest discoveries in neurobiology, and her own research and work as a licensed therapist, Dr. Anita shows you how to cultivate a state of emotional well-being that can:
strengthen your body and reverse the effects of trauma,calm anxiety and renew your mind, andunleash a new level of spiritual power in your life.
This book will equip you with the tools you need to nurture a part of yourself that has been misunderstood for too long — your heart — setting you free to live just as the Creator intended.

Great resource for anyone who needs inner healing.
I purchased this book for a book club we are doing for church. I absolutely love this book, and have recommended it to several people already. I love that it addresses trauma with a compassionate, no judgement approach. This book makes you dig deep, and unpack things of your past, so you can get to the roots. I love that she doesn’t claim to fix everything and gives helpful resources for each of us, depending on our individual needs. Their are a few opinions or mindsets I don’t personally align with, that could have been left out of the book, but overall, it’s a great resource for anyone that has any healing to do. I am so thankful for our leadership sharing this book with us.

The Garden Within
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this book is! It pulled at so many of my heart strings. It also gave me a new perspective on how the mind, heart, body and spirit are connected. Will definitely be reading this again and bringing certain points up with my therapist.

Hard read
I was excited about this book. There is some great information and revelation within. However, I found it was a bit difficult to get through.

Healing Balm!
This book really is like a healing balm to the soul!The premise seems simple, but it’s so complex, especially when it comes to implementing it in one’s own heart and mind. I am so, so grateful that I found this book. It is validating for trauma survivors, yet gentle and not triggering. It is spiritual and biblically sound but also easy for a non-believer to understand. Dr. Anita Phillips is so well-researched, yet gentle and clear in what she’s describing as making our ground fertile soul for GOOD SEED. I felt calm and my heart rate eased as I read this. It is so, SO GOOD! I love the quality of the book, the size of the text, the book’s structure and chapters, and the overall good book-feel too. Thank you so much for writing this book, Dr. Phillips.

Nowhere in the description does it say this is essentially a christian book. Almost every chapter is filled with bible verses and religious preaching. I feel misled and wasted my money. If I had wanted a devotional, I would have searched for one. Very disappointing and dishonest listing.
