The Roller Coaster of Emotions After a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
For the Injured Partner:
Are you exhausted all the time and trying to keep up with what you need to do?
Do you have memory issues and forgetfulness since the injury that might also be causing arguments in your relationship?
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, guilt, heavy emotions, or even crying constantly.
You look normal but your insides are hurting – and with your partner. Friends and family don’t understand.
For the Partner and/or Caretaker:
Maybe you feel like you’re carrying everything on your shoulders. Coordinating needed care, additional responsibilities, etc.
You might also be feeling alone a lot, frustrated, and guilty.
You miss what you both had prior to the injury.
I receive comments every day like these after families have been affected by traumatic brain injuries.
After working with thousands of clients with TBI, I’d like to share the same strategies and tools that you can use now – whether the brain injury is recent, or if it’s been years.
When you are able to better manage your emotions and learn how to be in the “window of tolerance,” you and your loved ones can drastically improve your relationships and rebuild your lives.
That’s why I have put together a recorded resource called The Roller Coaster of Emotions After Traumatic Brain Injury. In less than 20 minutes I share how you can regulate your emotions – whether you’re the individual, partner, or family member.

About Lori Weisman
In a health care career that spans more than 40 years I have worked with thousands of individuals, couples and families seeking to overcome many kinds of personal challenges. My early training in speech pathology gave me the opportunity to study the intricacies of the brain’s functioning. As a former clinical director of brain injury centers in California and Utah, I have also worked with patients and couples who are grappling with the physical, cognitive and emotional challenges that result from brain injuries. I had the opportunity to train and supervise the complete team providing care for this population. As an expert witness, I have helped courts and juries understand the difficulties that brain injured patients face.
In 1993, I established my private psychotherapy practice in Bellevue, Washington, where I continue to work with individuals and couples searching for help with a broad range of life issues. People come to me for compassionate, focused support in learning better ways to deal with stress, anxiety, career struggles and complex family and relationship issues. Many patients are dealing with the effects of substance abuse, mood disorders and other psychological conditions that require specialized support. My goal is to create the safe space they need to share their feelings freely and explore new perspectives that will open the door to positive solutions.
As a brain injury specialist, I also work in partnership with other psychotherapists who are treating patients and couples recovering from brain injuries.

“Having worked with Lori now with a number of mutual patients who are traumatized by terrible events in their life, I can emphatically state that Lori is the consummate professional. There are 3 essential hallmarks that explain why she is so great at what she does: compassion, commitment, and above all else, a huge reservoir of patience. She listens without judgment; she advises without condescension; and she follows through with promises without hesitation. Every single patient that I have referred to Lori has unequivocally spoke of her in glowing terms. Having worked with her personally and getting to know her on a personal level, I certainly know why.”
