The Joyce Ann Anderson Foundation for Mental Health & Wellness
The LGMI Therapy Parks Foundation is dedicated to the memory of Joyce Ann Anderson. We are determined to make families and communities healthy and whole mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Several years ago, we lost our beautiful sister, Joyce, to unresolved grief, trauma, and years of psychiatric abuse; she was given over 12 medications, not therapy. We wanted her to have holistic counseling therapy, which is unprofitable for big pharma. Pill after pill only masked the symptoms of her deep grief, post-traumatic stress, and trauma. Sick management doesn't work; it only worsens matters, leading to horrendous side effects while never healing the source of the problem. After attempting to manage the toxic psychotropic medications, she lost her life while never getting to the underlying problem of her past trauma.
This foundation was born for the love of our sister, the pain of losing her too soon, and the compassion for family wellness. The Joyce Ann Anderson Foundation aims to help those seeking real solutions to grief and trauma, not mask it with drugs (legal or illegal), alcohol, and other short-term numbing behaviors. Some psychotropic medications assist us in regulating a crisis event; however, they cannot take the place of processing the reality of trauma in our lives. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk said it best:
“Trauma affects the entire human organism—body, mind, and brain. In PTSD, the body continues to defend against a threat that belongs to the past.” “Mainstream trauma treatment has paid scant attention to helping terrified people to safely experience their sensations and emotions.” Silence about trauma also leads to death—the death of the soul. Silence reinforces the godforsaken isolation of trauma. Being able to say aloud to another human being, “I was raped,” or “I was battered by my husband,” or “My parents called it discipline, but it was abuse,” or “I’m not making it since I got back from Iraq,” is a sign that healing can begin.”
— Bessel Van Der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
We cannot escape our grief and trauma; we must face it, process it, resolve it, and complete the journey to discover actual fountains of wholeness to begin again.
Grief and trauma are personal. We can discover healing and wholeness through the love of Christ and the process of psychoeducation, whereby we can make meaning of the personal effect of trauma and grief in our life. Love Gardens Ministries is a healing place for the entire family.

THE CONQUER LIFE MINDSET
KIZZY WATKINS
Fear is a great crippler, but truth is a great liberator. The Author tells her truth to free herself from a life-threatening past and she holds back nothing. Every reader will be liberated as well.
The Author paints a picture far beyond just words. Her words come alive with vivid breath. Honestly, I am not the same person I was before reading her book. The wealth of emotions I experienced through her struggle has pierced my heart to its very core. This book has given me an even greater depth of empathy for the struggles of others through life injustices. We must remember that everyone has a story, and we never know what someone else has had to endure to make them who they are.
Amazing, gripping, emotional, triumphant, The Author brings the story to life with vivid details you will be able to touch and feel. A roller-coaster ride that I will read again.
