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

Images and diagrams are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    This book is amazing! We just had a women's retreat entitled "Back to the Garden" where we were taught that God sees His creation as good, and we should see ourselves that way. This builds on that theme in a dynamic way, considering that we have a garden within.
    I highly recommend.

    Dr. Anita Phillips is possibly one of the most amazing people that I’ve ever listened to. I am not religious, however I can still understand and see so much value in her message. She puts in a lot of science and facts that the every day average person can use. This book is very well written and in each page you can see the love and care that she poured into her word for us to read. I will be recommending this book to every person that asks me for a recommendation read.
