Not Broken, Adapted

Not Broken, Adapted is a trauma-informed health and psychology channel exploring the hidden roots of emotional pain, addiction, and chronic illness.

We challenge the idea that people are defective. Many symptoms labeled as “disorders” are intelligent adaptations to stress, trauma, and disconnection.

Through science-based storytelling and clinical insight, we examine how early experiences shape the nervous system, how trauma affects the mind and body, and why compassion is essential to real healing.

Inspired by trauma research and thinkers such as Dr. Gabor Maté, this is an independent educational channel.

You were never broken.
You adapted to survive.
