Hi, I'm Jana Burkhardt, founder of Recovery Trauma™
Originally from Germany and now based in the United Kingdom, Recovery Trauma™ grew from my own lived experience of trauma, PTSD, emotional pain, and the long journey of trying to understand what was happening inside me.
For many years, I lived in survival mode without fully realising it. Like so many others, I searched for answers, healing, and a greater sense of safety within myself.
Through therapy, nervous system work, inner child work, emotional education, creativity, self-discovery, and many small steps forward, I began to understand how deeply trauma can affect the way we feel, connect, respond, and experience the world around us.
Recovery Trauma™ was created to become the kind of space I once searched for myself — somewhere compassionate and accessible, where people can find practical tools, education, support and community without judgement or pressure to recover in a particular way.
Today, the Recovery Trauma™ community has grown to more than 380,000 people across social media, connected by a shared interest in understanding trauma and recovery.
This platform is the next step in that journey: bringing trauma-informed education, practical recovery tools, guided experiences, live events, reflection and community together in one supportive space.
Healing doesn't have to happen all at once. You can learn, explore and move forward at your own pace.
Thank you for being here.
With gratitude,
Jana Burkhardt
Founder, Recovery Trauma™
A Gentle Reminder
"You don't have to perform your healing.
You don't have to rush your healing.
You don't have to earn your healing.
You only need to keep showing up for yourself, gently and at your own pace."

💛 A Personal Dedication
Recovery Trauma™ was created from lived experience, resilience and the belief that healing is possible.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my father, who supported me throughout the development of Recovery Trauma™. Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, guiding me and reminding me to keep moving forward. Your support has been an important part of this journey.
I would also like to dedicate Recovery Trauma™ to my mother:
Born · 8 March 1965
Passed Away · 24 December 1996
The loss of my mother changed my life forever and became part of the reason I began searching for answers about trauma, grief, healing and recovery.
Every lesson, every challenge and every step of my healing journey contributed to the creation of this platform.
Recovery Trauma™ is dedicated to you.
May this platform help others find hope, healing, strength and support on their own recovery journeys.
With love,
Jana Burkhardt

With Gratitude
A personal acknowledgement
Recovery Trauma™ would not exist without the support, guidance, and encouragement I received throughout my own healing journey.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Nanneke Morgan, who was my therapist, for the support, compassion, insight, and therapeutic guidance she provided during some of the most challenging periods of my life.
Healing is never the work of one person alone. It is often supported by those who create safe spaces, ask difficult questions with kindness, and help us reconnect with ourselves when we feel lost.
Thank you for being part of my journey and for the work you continue to do in supporting others.
With gratitude,
Jana Burkhardt
