About Jessie Upp, M.S., R.C.
Expertise

Working through the My Way to OUR WAY method, I offer engaged & married couples help with issues regarding love, conflict resolution, anger management, blended families (married with children), parental issues and sibling rivalry.

When in conflict, you might wonder:

  • Why does he/she DO THAT?!
  • I just understand him/her.
  • I can't get them to consistently start/stop!
  • Why is he/she so upset?
  • I'm in a lose-lose situation.

If you're stuck, it's because you THINK you have run out of opportunities. I can help you find more!!



Experience

Experience:

Highly experienced in the area of conflict, I believe that families can take full responsibility for solving their own problems, without the need for a long-term third party. I lead an association of counselors who I train so that they can train families on this method (within 5 sessions) and this has made a major difference for many families!

Education/Credentials:
Registered Counselor #RC00059845
M.S. in Management & B.A. in Communications
Formal Education in: Learning, Mediation and Coaching

Expert: Jessie Upp, M.S., R.C. - 1/22/2007

Question
my friend came to me for some advice... she says she got drunk and she told her boyfriend that she feels this relationship they have is one-sided, and that it's not fair and it's a problem.. well she says that he won't talk to her now, she doesn't remember everything she said to hurt his feelings, because she was drunk. He will not talk to her and now she feels she has ruined her relationship.. she wants to know how she can fix it? thank you!

Answer
Hi Kristy,

It's wonderful you are trying to help your friend out :)

I'm not sure what has happened since you posted your question in January, but I'm sure so much has progressed since then.

When a friend comes to you for advice, listen closely. Listen beyond their circumstances. There are always values safely and securely and silently hidden beneath all actions.

What do you hear?
