“You often need more than an answer to solve a problem”

Wisdom from the Couch
by John Jolliffe

John Jolliffe was more than a therapist, he was a father figure, a truth-teller, and a lifeline for thousands who sought not just guidance, but genuine transformation. In this deeply personal collection, Therapy Stories, John shares some powerful and poignant moments from his decades-long journey as a counselor, radio host, and mentor. These are not just stories from the couch, they are moments of awakening, glimpses into the human condition, and encounters that reveal the quiet power of empathy, honesty, and healing.

With wisdom that cuts through noise and insight that lingers, John invites you into the sacred space of real connection, where vulnerability meets strength, and hurt begins to heal. Each story holds a hidden thread of advice, a truth tucked between the lines, meant not just to be read, but to be felt.

Completed in love and legacy with his daughter Lauren, this book was written years ago, but only now is it finally being sent into the world. May you find in these pages the same comfort, clarity, and quiet transformation that so many found in John’s presence.

Please enjoy his words. His stories. And may you discover the meaning he left just for you.
