“What a beautiful tool. The Resilient Brain takes an extremely complicated and delicate medical experience and transforms it into a beautiful book that many will benefit from. As the parent of a child who suffered a TBI, I know this book can support conversations with people of all ages. I will share this book with my children, my daughter’s school, my family, my community, my friends, and so many others! I truly believe this book will give my daughter the words to answer the question she is always asked: ‘What happened?’ Resiliency is such a special word with applications to all who are touched by TBI.” —Krissy Danburg, mother of a child with a TBI and yoga studio owner

“This is a must-read for loved ones of those who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Read this book and learn from someone who actually lives it. Katianne Olson does a wonderful job explaining what a TBI is, associated symptoms, parts of the brain, and the aspects of recovery, including the therapists involved. My personal favorite from this book is how she defines resilience and ways that YOU can be resilient through a challenging time.” —Victoria Galarnyk MS, CCC-SLP senior speech-language pathologist

"A fantastic resource for those suffering from TBI. As a practitioner working with these patients every day, one of the most common struggles experienced is the communication of what they are feeling and experiencing. Katianne Olson has captured that experience and made it easy to understand for both children and adults alike–not an easy task! She has done the impossible: threading the needle of explaining a complex topic in a simple and sensory-friendly way. This book will open the eyes of many who have trouble conveying or understanding the journey of those who wrestle with TBI, while providing that much-needed element of hope in that your brain is resilient, it can recover!" —Dr. Joseph Coppus DC, CFMP, DACNB, owner and lead clinician of Delta Neuro Health
