Garden for a Healthy Mind
• A garden is where you grow food and herbs to nourish and heal and flowers to please and inspire.
• A garden is where you protect and care for plants that provide you with multiple benefits in return.
• A garden is where you continually uproot the weeds that are interfering with the health and growth of your plants, herbs, and flowers.
• Gardening is caring for plants, so they might be healthy enough to produce value–flowers, vegetables, herbs, and fruits.
Plant for a Healthy Mind
• Your mind is the soil in which sensations, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes take root.
• Whatever takes root in your conscious or unconscious mind produces fruit or results.
• Your conscious mind is the part of your garden you admit to having.
• Your unconscious mind is the part of your garden that you hide in darkness because you do not want the weeds you grow there to be found and shame you.

About the author
After more than twenty-five years in the counseling field, Mr. FitzMaurice has refined many principles and methods of counseling. He now puts those principles and methods into book form to share them with a wider audience, so more people can benefit than he can reach in person. He has more than forty books, most of which are available worldwide from Amazon and other sources.
Mr. FitzMaurice has a variety of formal and advanced training in counseling, which includes Addictions Counseling, Family Therapy, advanced Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and over 1,650 hours of diverse training for continuing education units (CEUs).
To make the best use of that extensive training, he takes an integrative approach, grounding himself in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (REBT and CBT) and using the other theories to build upon that one core theory, rather than focusing on multiple theories and mastering none of them.
His writings and interests focus on philosophy, psychology, recovery, self-help, and spirituality.
