Healing Beyond Survival Mode™

Originally from Germany and now based in the United Kingdom, Recovery Trauma™ was born 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 realising it. Like so many others, I searched for answers, healing, and a sense of safety within myself.

Through therapy, nervous system healing, inner child work, emotional education, creativity, self-discovery, and countless small steps forward, I slowly began to understand that trauma is not only something we remember — it is something that can be carried within the body, the nervous system, our relationships, and the way we experience the world.

Recovery Trauma™ was created to be the kind of space I once searched for myself. A place that feels safe. A place that feels compassionate. A place where people can access tools, education, support, and community without judgement. A place where healing doesn't need to be rushed.

Today, Recovery Trauma™ has grown into a global community of more than 380,000 people across social media, united by a shared belief that healing is possible.

This platform is the next step in that journey — a trauma-informed space designed to support people navigating trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation.

If you're here, I want you to know something:

You are not broken. You are not behind. And you do not have to do this alone.

Thank you for being here.

With gratitude,
Jana Burkhardt
