Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

Read by the author.

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, and
  • unleash 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.

AUTHENTIC. FRUITFUL. POWERFUL

The Garden Within I Recognize Truth and God’s Word Is The Truth!

I watched Dr. Anita Phillips’ teaching about us being trees. When she first taught at the Potters House Church. I was it on YouTube that Sunday morning. And I love the truth, the conviction, compassion, grace, confidence, loyalty to the integrity of the Word of God that flows from her heart. I have learned so much and I will recommend her book to friends and family. And I will read it again often.

Absolutely Amazing and Necessary

This book was absolutely amazing and beyond what I thought it was gonna be. It was what I needed. It spoke to my spiritual side but also the side of me that needs the science!

Amazing!!!

It’s so good to read a book that confirms what you have been feeling. Dr. Anita put words in curriculum form to lessons taught to lessons passed down through generations. Thank you for your obedience. This work is an invaluable resource to me.

Simple. Powerful. Eye and Soul Opening 🙌🏾

Dr. Passah Anita is the truth when she lays out her word of the Lord mixed with the words of science. The created a beautiful union of the two in this amazing book. Don’t think about just push play and enjoy…

Powerful revelations

Wow. Where to even begin. The revelation that this book has brought to the forefront of understanding is irreplaceable. I am so grateful to have met you, Dr. Anita, I know Pinkie invited me to Sister’s Keeper for more than a meal! You have truly inspired me to continue on my journey to help those that have experienced trauma and abuse. I know what God has called me to, and I can’t wait to see what He does next! Much love and appreciation.
