Dr. Anita Phillips on Winning the War with Your Emotions
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- Not only is Dr. Anita Phillips a sister in Christ and a dear friend, she’s also a trauma therapist, a life coach and a minister with a profound understanding of what it takes to be an emotionally whole believer. In her new book, "The Garden Within'', Dr. Anita contends God created us in the pattern of plants and compares the garden of our heart to an actual garden.
We all know the importance of taking care of our physical and spiritual health, but oftentimes, our emotional wellbeing gets overlooked. It's easy to brush off our feelings, especially when our cultural or familial norms encourage us to suppress them. Instead of honoring the presence of a particular emotion and exploring its origins, many of us tend to hide our true feelings.
Our emotions provide us with valuable insights about the health of our heart. If our thoughts and actions are unhealthy, we need to check the soil of our emotions. Just as plants in a garden need water to grow and thrive, our internal gardens, such as our mental and emotional well-being, also require care and nourishment. It's crucial that we begin to take time to tend to cultivate the garden of our hearts in order to experience the abundant life that God has for us.

Listen.. about a month ago I didnt have work on a Friday but my husband did and I debated keeping our son home from daycare because, why send him to daycare when Im at home? BUt then I decided, "No.. Im going to have a me day" so I woke up, dropped our son off, and did just that. Went to Starbucks, walked around some stores to window shop, then ended my day with lunch and a movie.. listen... I cried 3 times during that movie and I dont even think it was the movie but just the release of being ME for just a few hours was overwhelming. Since then, my husband is encouragingly me to take a FULL me day at least once a month and Im so grateful. We must remember that God wants us to REST and its God honoring to do so.
So glad to hear about your experience! Good for you!
This episode made me decide to seek a counselor, at 75 years old. I have the book and can’t wait to read it.
Hallelujah and amen! You are a true testament that it’s never too late for change! May you receive the peace and healing that you deserve.
Good for you ❤
Same here, I finally decided that I needed help putting in the work🙌🏽
She is my on line therApist in my head Love her. She made me go deep within myself. I’m a mess but am fixable Ty Jesus.
I repeat! I'M A MESS BUT I'M FIXABLE!
Mine too!!
@@ChrystalHurstTHAT should be on a coffee mug or tshirt!
@@KoddiDunnSo True! I’m a mess but I am fixable!!! Lord
DITTO, DITTO, DITTO! Lol.... yes, all of this! 🙌🏾😀 Thank you Jesus! 💖
Many pastors need to listen to this coz they keep teaching folks that having faith means basically not having emotions. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and shame that comes with emotions in the church and it’s really damaging. Especially the “if u know the outcome, why fret?!” teaching
I can’t get enough of this conversation - “goals should not be gathered, they should be grown!” I get it!!! 🍀
😊❤
To see Dr. Brene Brown be in awe by Dr. Anita Philips gave me a higher sense of honor towards Dr. Anita. I respect Dr. Brown, but Dr. Anita is something divine❤
Where was this? Was it a podcast or a show? Please recommend
At the woman evolve conference.
Nothing but love for Dr Anita, even her voice is calming 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I’m soooooo glad this talk was about emotions ! For all of us emotional people out here.
❤Yes!❤
Totally spent the entire podcast bawling. Then I bought the book. Always Dr Anita with her powerful information and Crystal asking all the right questions. This was a blessing.
A few years ago, I felt life was blowing up and requested a 3 day retreat in a hotel for my birthday. I was told that i was running away from my problems and i didnt need to do it... i listened bc i trusted that counsel, and life increasingly got heavier. I've asked again once since but didnt push for it... so NOW I'm only a few minutes in, and I am determined that I am doing this. I need to be alone. I work from home, home school, and I am always feeling responsible for someone or something. I believe part of how I made it through my childhood as "ok" as I did was because I was able to be by msyself often to think and imagine and relax. I need to get back to that, and to not feel guilty for wanting to get away. If i dont get anything else from this, I will get that. We just left the beach and every morning i got away and just either sat by the ocean or walked or listened... it was amazing. Whew. I'm getting so much and yall havent even started the deep stuff yet LOL
I just finished and I literally feel like the Father led me to this. The garden. The ocean. I used to have an image of a garden and called it my happy place. It was always a place of just perfevt peace... it was always a place of safety for me... it was God's gift for me personally and emotionally I believe.. and here lately, within the last month I actually (tearfully) exclaimed that I felt like my garden had turned into a bunch of weeds and I was so sad and heartbroken. Ive tried tk fix myself spiritually while ignoring myself emotionally. I almost audibly could hear God saying I was trying to BE better without BEING better. As in, I was trying to correct things externally without addressing the heartbreak, anxiety, and disappointments, etc that caused them to fall apart. Just pray more. Fast more. Listen to more worship. And evsn realizing that i dont have a safe place eight now. I just prayed a few days ago for God to bring people into my life to be that for me. Chrystal, thank you so much for asking the most spot on questions and circling back - especially to where your home isnt the safe space its supoosed to be. Ive said those exact words. I really juat feel seen right now. Like the thjngs ive been praying and asking God and seeing and saying.. IM NOT CRAZY! It's been the Lord wooing me tenderly to get me to let Him in to heal whats been broken so I could thrive again and finally break out of survivial mode. 13+ years is far too long. I'm ready to bloom. OH MY GOODNESS! Even that phrase, (sorry yall now im rambling a bit) but the phrase made to bloom was stuck in my head and i bought a cup and someone was going to customize it for me. I kept going betwen a row of flowers or the phrase "made to bloom" and then I just said I wanted "Bloom". He is so intentional. And maybe I'm not as far off as I thought. Thank you both so much!!!!
I just discovered her at the Potters House this past weekend 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 oh my goodness that sermon was so so powerful!
Me too,she is awesome
Me too & now I’m in love with her & her way of teaching
This is how I discovered Dr.Anita . Thank GOD for the divine appointment that made this connection #healing
Thank God for the gift of these two sisters In Christ.🎉
I love you Dr. Anita...you provided me broader context of what GOD has been showing me in The Word about connectivity and the emotions are a part of beautiful design! I am learning to be proud of the entire person GOD created me as!! Instead making myself smaller and trying to hide myself because "emotions" are "weak/bad"!! I love your weirdness...GOD meant for you to share!! 🎉🎉🎉 I pray and thank GOD for you everyday and will continue!
I have never felt so engaged in a conversation that I actually wasn’t a part of! This was life changing!
Thank You Lord Father For Answered Prayers🙌🏾🙌🏾 I’m going through a Emotional healing journey and I’m always trying to intellectualize my emotions God Is Teaching me to Trust Him With Them🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks for this Ladies🙏🏾🙏🏾🩷🩷
Lady Chrystal Evans asks the most relatable and relevant questions. This is so good!!!
She is amazing but most of all Crystal you and your entire family are as well‼️ May GOD continue to Bless you all🙏🏽
this was soooo good! ... the way dr. anita broke things down about our bodies, gardens, emotions, God, life, plants ... aint no other way i ever would have had these aha moments ... this was refreshing, soothing & much needed for me ... thank you dr. anita!
This was SO GOOD! The church needs to hear this message and start preaching it everywhere!
Come on Mrs. Phillips speak the truth about Jesus and His emotions it is real. I love it ❤
Awesome stuff here w/Dr. Anita Phillips!!! Love her energy...❤️
Would be great to have her as a counselor/therapist/etc....
Quick observation:
@Approximately 29:10 or so,
Dr. Phillips shared "in part" that all of the mother's eggs/seeds that she'll ever have are already in their bodies at their individual times of birth. And that we are all w/our mother's (& their mother's & so on...) in their ovaries...
I learned it a little differently from our Dr./Apostle/Pastor & his Prophetess/Elder wife, many years ago.
W/all due respect for Dr. Phillips as the qualified doctor that she most beautifully is, I'd like to share their views on this particular point.
They shared w/their congregation that...
1st -- Our Heavenly ABBA (Father) AHAYAH (God) made man (Adam) fully equipped w/all of the "seeds-only" in his loins that he will ever need (for life) to produce life. ❤️
2nd -- Then, HE created Eve (woman) from Adams rib, which came from Adam's womb.
While creating Eve, YAH (God) fully equipped her w/all of the "eggs-only" that she would ever need (for life) in her ovaries to be able to receive "life" from Adam's seeds. ❤️
YAH/HE also placed HIS OWN DNA that HE designed into both of their DNA's to "mark" them as HIS chosen "seed"...
This was the final equation of all of the DNA's/Genetic materials being essential for both of the male seeds & the female eggs to come together --- through the most beautiful fertilization process of them making love w/one another
.❤️°*~•.👶🏽•~*°```❤️```°*~•.👶🏽.•~*°❤️.
&...
creating a beautiful baby boy or girl!!!
____________________________
Thus, "life" is in the seeds not in the eggs that must be fertilized 1st by the seeds in order to even become a life.
Ijs for clarity b/cuz it does matter how this is taught...
Even more insightful, Our Heavenly ABBA YAH (Our Heavenly "MALE" Father Figure & CREATOR of all things...) miraculously placed HIS OWN "seed" into the earthly virgin Mother, Mary.
As most people may know that 9 months later, Mary gave birth to YAH'S (God's) Only Begotten Son,
YesHAYAH (Jesus) Ha'Mashiakh (The Messiah) -- The Lion of The Tribe of Yehudah (Judah)!!!✨🦁✨
Again, the seed fertilized the egg, & gave it life!!! ❤️
In essence, we are all w/our father's, first, & not w/our mother's.
The Scriptures share w/us that "YAH (God) knew us before HE placed us into our mother's wombs." ❤️✨👑✨❤️
Prayerfully, this has been helpful &
revealing... 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾
SHALOM,
(Abundant Peace & Blessings,)
~~Anita
Yes, in total agreement for “MeCations”! Rest to restore our energy is essential. We cannot overflow from an empty vessel.
One of the best conversations I’ve ever listened to.
19:48 minutes in and now I just want to go cry bc I literally just stopped myself from fully crying yesterday because I THOUGHT it was over the same thing I swore I would never cry over again. now listening to Dr. Anita Im like dang I have no idea bc I didnt give myself permission nor time to cry and find out.
Risking the dark woods for even two days after watching cold case show is COURAGE! What a brave heart!
Dr. Anita is so down to earth. I think I would’ve been all over the place mentally sleeping by myself in the woods…
Ma’am if you don’t preach from that COUCH!!! My Lord!! This was AWESOME!! ❤
Crystal, I am 82 years old. I am so glad to hear this common sense conversation. God bless you and Dr. Phillips as you continue to minister to us women
IN JESUS NAME
❤❤❤
L
Thank you Dr Phillips. I often refer you to clients.
Such a beautiful & light-hearted conversation. I feel grateful for this type of content. 🧡
The Dr. Is in the house.Thank you for taking your time to pour into us. Your just Amazing.😘🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you @Chrystal Evans Hurst for sharing this incredible gift with your online community! This 👏🏾 was 👏🏾 so 👏🏾 good. I absolutely wish I could join everyone in California next month but while I’m here in GA I must pin this chat as something I need to revisit. This conversation gave me full on permission to love my body. So often, I have wanted to curse being human but I knew that was the trick of the enemy. “Me-cations” are a REAL thing and this episode affirmed the name I have been calling it! It’s time to produce some real fruit Fam! ❤❤❤
This was sooooo good for sooooo many reasons !!!!!!!! AND I'm bout to go order this book ! I learn so much EVERYTIME I listen to Dr. Anita
Crystal thank you so much for this show. I appreciate so much all of the information shared and the encouragement toward being honest and transparent with ourselves and trusting our bodies. I had to listen to this twice with open ears and an open heart. I truly thank both you and Dr. Anita Philips for sharing.
Just listened at 1.75 speed and LOVED every second of this. I admit to being under the rock 🤦🏽♀️… this was my FIRST time hearing of her. Thank you for another phenomenal interview. 🙌🏽
LOL I see I'm not the only one who speed up video's when watching.
Well... now you're not! Glad you joined me for the conversation. Praying the interview was an amazing encouragement for you.
I totally do that too@@eLLBdotmusic
@@ChrystalHurst Believe it or not for some reason I didn't speed up the video with this interview. Lol. I guess I wanted to take a moment to be completely present and process the discussion...let it soak in. Normally I speed up waiting for the ah ha moment but this time, I wanted to be more present. Great interview BTY. Since I have your attention, we need another Raine interview. Lol It was such a great interview. Thanks for reading.
lol... you are not alone!@@eLLBdotmusic
#LifechangingConversations!❤❤ Thank you so much Chrystal and Dr. Phillips!
Thank you Dr. Anita and Chrystal for this. This was such a needed discourse. I feel enlightened and helped.
I love this episode its so full of information that I have never thought about! as a now 26 yr old I'm realizing alot concerning my life and choosing to prioritize rest and being still its very important ! thank you ladies for this podcast us youngins need things like this !
Great conversation Crystal & Dr. Anita, so good to hear women of faith discussing practical life issues and still balances it with the Scriptures.
Thanks Sister Anita and Crystal I love you so much and I have some one just lost her Dad she needs to hear your word
Love this discussion. I love the sound of the ocean and looking at trees. So many gems. Nature is healing because we *are* nature and part of it. Yah did this all intentionally- agreed ❤
l really enjoyed this and I will get the book. I was taking notes in my journal .....blessings to you on this journey
Bless you Crystal and Dr. Phillips. Know her sister Valerie and of course the one and only Mother "Mom Graham".. The best of best.
Just what I needed to hear today. Excellent interview/conversation. Thank you both.
Loved this conversation. Enlightening, encouraging and empowering. Thank you!! I bought the audible version last week and I Love it ❤
Writing in from Nairobi Kenya and I love you both so! Thanks Chrystal for being consistent in creating such beautiful content ❤
I just did the breathe in, hold and breathe out slowly, can I tell you I felt tears flooding my eyes(but at work can't let those out....lol) followed by tongues.... JESUS! it's deep. Will definitely do it more often 😊
🎉❤ what a rush! Soul cleansing! You must do this every morning!
I still believe in emotional intelligence! I understand what she’s saying but feel your emotions acknowledge them and act intelligently towards others after you process it!!
Love the convo and the transparency from both. Dr. Anita gives good advice for healing. Looking forward to her life-coaching THRIVE session tonight.
This is inspiring because I feel seen as well as helped! Downloaded the book on Audible today. I'm worth it and I'm going to learn the RIGHT work to do. Thank you both for using this platform to share this out.
Thank you Lord as he continued to reveal these things about me. I can relate go what they are saying. Thank both of you ladies. So thankful I have been introduced to Dr. Phillips ❤️Love you Crystal and your whole family has helped me in my life.
I love Dr Annita ❤. Thanks for sharing. Just lost my job two weeks ago and currently going through a lot of emotions
This message was sooo convicting.. 😩 Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾😊
This is one I will listen to again with pen and paper. Getting that book 👏🏼

I'm learning so much! Thank you for sharing this revelational information 🙏
I am listening to this convo as I am helping my Mom who has hoarded things clean out her house. This is so timely for me. Time for me to make sure I get watered.
Dr. Anita just BLESSED ME AGAIN...her TRANSPARENCY about challenges of the book process just helped me in MY process! I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE FLOWS! GOD'S SPECIAL GIRL!❤❤❤
Deep yet comfortable conversation. Love it. It also gives me a chill vibe to see Chrystal with her hair twisted out like this. I feel like I was a part of the conversation. 😍😍😍😍😍
As a matter of fact, let me just subscribe rn.
❤🙌🏽💙 about to share this podcast with my nieces Facebook group. I hope they listen and Receive. This is so Amazingly Powerful. Thank you Both. I wish I could come on the Retreat. All my Love Queens.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this conversation❤. I feel blessed that I found both of you in the last 7 days. This conversation has brought me so much joy 🥰
I've realized that the education Dr. Philips is giving us is the scriptures "be renewed in the spirit of your mind" . In the order it was meant to be given. The heart, the body . With this education you automatically are being renewed because it causes a person to speak differently about yourself, your circumstance . As we change our approach to our lives acknowledgely the heart, the body our choice of words change. We are being renewed day by day as we grow in this awareness of ourselves. I am more and more changed day by day (or year and month it's a process😁)and I realized I speak differently about myself and see things differently. These talks are amazing thank you both so much for spilling out your lives like you do.
Thank you so much for this! I really needed to hear this!❤
TY. TY.TY. for this Wisdom 🌻🍁🌻
So beautiful. Thank you. 🙏🏽💕
Thank you ❤
This is worth it thank you ,the pain does come bt it passes thats my take home.
‘By avoiding our emotions, we undermine our spiritual wellness’ Gold. AMEN!!!!
Sleeping for sorrow… don’t I know about it. My goodness that was a good plug Dr. Phillips. A very whole spiritual connection 🙏🏾💜 to me, this is what it means to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Timothy). It’s very important to know that we follow Christ and NOT the emotions of disciples and call it ‘the Holy Spirit’ that we are suppose to WALK IN individually, not follow.
It’s coming together for my soul. Thank you sisters.
Ok, i adore you!! I purchased Dr. Phillips book and it arrived yesterday. I am excited to dive deep into the book! 🌸
wooo hooo!
Wow, "goals should not be gathered, but grown". "All the goals but none of the joy." We have to start with feeling good; being okay first, regardless of whether the goal is achieved or not. 🔥
Good morning Mrs. Evans -Hurst and Dr. Phillips. The interview moved me. I bought the book on my kindle, because of the information shared and the authentic way everything was explained.
I too am a counselor, (LPC) and I was moved by the connection of the plant and the neuron illustration, I totally got that.
I'm so excited to read the book and I recommended it for our book club and shared the link to the video.
One last note , Mrs. Chrystal, I am a subscriber to your channel.
God bless you both,
D. Elaine Miller
I really needed this today. I woke up feeling unhappy and I was just looking for something to help me feel positive emotions to give me positive energy. This just helped me to stay true to my emotions and not bury them as usual but actually sort through it.
Jesus cried. Good idea not to bury those emotions.
I am learning to listen to my body! Thank you Dr. Anita and Chrystal💜💜
Thank you ladies
Amen, Thank you Chrystal and Dr. Phillips ❤
Thank you Anita ❤
Wow, needed this!! Thank you!
This is sooooo good!!!! For many reasons❤❤❤❤
This is so good. Needed this so bad.
Thank you! what you said, summed it up for me. 'Look at that!' FRUIT
I just saw her last weekend at WE ❤. Love her!
Well this was an absolute treat.
This is so amazing and I needed this today. Thank you ladies!!
I needed this!!! God bless you, my sisters in Christ!! ❤. You are soooo on point!!
This was soooo good! I love Dr. Anita. God has given her such a brilliant mind. She says things in a way (as it relates to scripture) in a way I've never thought. I'm going to listen to my body everyday.
I enjoyed this !
Awesome, powerful stuff ❤❤❤
Oh you just answered my question as to why I love the water. Thank you! 💕
This IS SO GOOD‼️❤️
I must say, this was dead on. I feel like my 40's have been the worst. I celebrated 5 years of being breast cancer free when I celebrated my 40th birthday! I knew how my 30s were and felt, 40's is my time to evolve and pivot. I'm going through a phase in my life where I'm realizing my coping skills and my way of getting by while life is lifeing is not enough. Usually, my smooth jazz and gospel music ease me. Normally, my pen to paper when I journal replaces the frustration I may have. Without getting in-depth, I just want to thank you both for sharing. Long story short, I'm not a reader. Im 44 and have read two books in my life from start to finish. When this podcast ended, I had several screenshots of key points I want to reference and share with the ladies in my church, as well as outline when I get my book!!! I am working on a motivational book that I'm writing to myself, and much of what was shared I can relate to. I especially like how we "women that understand what you both were saying, but don't have time or don't know how" were recognized. Often time information is shared from one perspective, and not all. For example, there are many books on how to build financial wealth, but what about those that don't have to start? Thank you for understanding and being transparent!!!
It’s the spirit that feeds the heart. Dr. Joel Tudman has a really good word with connections of the spirit and heart as it relates to faith in his sermon ‘the ramifications of faith’. Very good word.
When we go to church and we are praising, seeking, knocking, etc, I believe a lot of that is for the soul (mind, will, and emotions), not our spirit.
The spirit is always ready, it’s the flesh that is weak. Our soul is what needs the restoration. The Spirit goes to work on that soul. The heart is also involved and that purification process by the LORD is working thru our spirits in the heart space. All in tandem. Absolutely amazing experience when I think about it
This talk represents so many things that I love about Chrystal's interviews... she asks great questions, she's not afraid to dig, and respectfully engage... whomever said to her that no where in Scripture does it tell us to go to ourselves for answers... I think of passages that tell us to 'examine ourselves' (2 Cor 13:5, 1 Cor 11:28-32) and 'be discerning'. Knowing ourselves seems to be part of our life as Christ followers; Christ is always the ultimate answer. Thanks Chrystal and team for your work to maintain this platform of encouragement, because this is tough to work through! Also I love Dr. Anita! 💛💛🟡🟡
This is so good and much needed!
Love this conversation so needed 💕 🙏🏾
This video was everything!!! Thank you Chrystal and Dr. Anita. I’m going to get the book today! ❤
This was sooo good…it was an informative and empowering interview.I have the audiobook and I’m even more excited to get to it. Thank you both!🙏🏾😊
I needed to hear this on accountability at work. Lord Jesus! That’s a frustrating for me! Whew Chile! 🙏🏾
This IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING😮REVELATION!
Dr Anita is such a gift
This was such an inspirational interview! Thank yall! God bless!
....and one more thing ... hearing the connection about gut health and serotonin was really eye opening for me - especially when you are used to hearing about serotonin being a " brain" thing
This has freed my mind so much!!! Thank you ladies
