[Content Warning]: Discussions of childhood sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, parental betrayal, chronic trauma-related physical illness, and medical dismissal.

When doctors can't find anything wrong, it doesn't mean nothing is wrong; it may mean they're looking in the wrong place. In this episode, Jan sits down with Dr. David Clarke, a gastroenterologist-turned-pioneer in neuroplastic medicine, to explore the real, physical ways that trauma lives in the body long after the abuse has stopped. From a patient with one bowel movement a month to a man with 55 years of unexplained stomach pain, Dr. Clarke's stories aren't just remarkable — they're a roadmap for anyone who has ever been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to just get over it. This conversation is for every survivor who has wondered why their body still hurts.

Dr. David Clarke is a board-certified gastroenterologist and president of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), a volunteer-led nonprofit he founded to bring science-backed treatment to the millions of people whose physical symptoms are rooted in stress, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. His book They Can't Find Anything Wrong is used as a medical school textbook in Slovenia and can be found in libraries across multiple continents.

For the first time, Royce Rendon tells his story in full on Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg.

Content advisory: child sexual abuse, childhood neglect and abuse, addiction, and suicide.

Jan Broberg sits down with Royce Rendon, a survivor, writer, and advocate, to get the deep dive into his story that hasn't been publicly discussed before. Beginning with a short video about his story reaching millions of people and in this episode he talks, without holding back, about the parts that video could not hold: the childhood behind it, and the aftermath that came after.

Royce describes growing up as the child of a parent living with addiction, and what it does to a kid to become the adult in the room before they are ready. He talks about the pressure survivors face to perform a “good” recovery, the loneliness of healing in public, and how hard it was to find trauma-informed care. He and Jan talk honestly about the justice system, about what happens when a case does not move forward, and about why reporting still matters even when it feels like it doesn't.

It is a heavy conversation, and also a hopeful one. Royce ends with three dreams he is keeping alive, and a reminder that survivors get to decide for themselves what justice and healing look like.

This is the kind of conversation we made Trauma Interrupted for. Honest, survivor to survivor, with nothing performed and nothing exploited.

The Wound, the Work, and the Way Forward. Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg is here. In our first episode, Jan Broberg, Teresa Agustin, and her son Austen Tanner share the story behind the show and why it exists.

Content advisory: child sexual abuse, grooming, and substance use recovery.

In the first episode of Trauma Interrupted, host Jan Broberg sits down with Teresa Agustin, JBF Board Chair and creator of Spot 6, and her son Austen Tanner, JBF Co-Founder and co-creator of the T.I.M.E. Program, to introduce the show, the foundation's three pillars of Awareness, Community, and Justice, and the programs they have spent the past two years building.

Together, they trace why the rebrand from, The Jan Broberg Show, to Trauma Interrupted is more than a name change. They talk about how Survivor Circle evolved from an early community called Thrivivors, why the T.I.M.E. Program (Trauma Interrupted, Mitigated, and Expressed) was built as peer-led and community-sustained, and how SPOT6 teaches the six stages of child grooming so adults can recognize patterns before abuse happens.

Teresa shares her grooming story and the decade of silence that followed. Austen speaks about addiction, recovery, and why peer-to-peer community matters for healing. Jan ties it back to the foundation's broader mission of breaking the cycles of abuse that depend on secrecy.
