Bailey sat with people carrying wounds that medicine alone could not reach - the bitterness, the grief, the silent resentments that quietly shape a life. In \u003ci\u003eTales From This Side of the Couch\u003c\/i\u003e, he shares what those years taught him: that there is nothing more profound in healing emotional pain than learning to forgive, and to be forgiven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part spiritual companion, this collection weaves together real stories from a lifetime in the mental health field with Scripture, Catholic teaching, and hard-won wisdom. Deacon Bailey writes with the candor of a man who has been there himself - sharing his own anger at God, the loss of his father, and the moments grace broke through when he least expected it. Through familiar parables seen with fresh eyes - the Prodigal Son and his resentful brother, the Good Samaritan, the strange lesson of the zebra mussels - he shows how unforgiveness poisons the body and soul, and how letting go opens the door to genuine peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is more than a book to read. Each chapter closes with a guided \"Now Think About It\" reflection and a \"Now Pray About It\" prayer, gently inviting you to bring your own story into the light. Ruled journaling pages at the end give you a private space to write down the names, the hurts, and the prayers that surface along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are wrestling with a wound you can't seem to release, walking alongside someone who is hurting, or simply longing for a deeper experience of God's mercy, these pages offer companionship for the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThere really is a balm in Gilead - and healing and reconciliation are always possible through the grace of God.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside you'll find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve honest, personal chapters on forgiveness, reconciliation, and emotional healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA practical, step-by-step look at the process of forgiving - and being forgiven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuided reflection questions and written prayers in every chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJournaling pages to make this your own private space where forgiveness begins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerfect for personal devotion, small-group study, or anyone seeking to heal old wounds and find freedom in letting go.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn T.
