Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg
Our Purpose
Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg exists to change the way trauma is understood, discussed, and healed. It is the primary public-facing voice of the foundation and the main audience entry point into the JBF ecosystem. The show bridges lived experience, survivor testimony, education, systems critique, recovery tools, and cultural conversation into one platform.
Why It Matters?
Trauma narratives are often fragmented, sensationalized, or oversimplified. Survivors are either ignored or reduced to their worst moments. Trauma Interrupted reframes trauma as a human experience, not an identity, and recovery as a collective responsibility, not an individual burden.
The podcast is not just storytelling, it is movement-building media.

Dr. David E. Clarke’s Story • When Your Body Won't Let You Forget
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
[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.
