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.

We're saying goodbye to The Jan Broberg Show by returning to where it began. Jan Broberg shares her story in full with good friend and fellow podcaster Dave Markel.
Content advisory: child sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, brainwashing, emotional abuse, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and threats of violence.
In this episode • Jan sits down with Dave Markel, a retired family detective, trauma expert, and the producer and host of SASS: Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. This is the most detailed continual account of her abuse outside of her new book, The Jan Broberg Story. She goes deep into the techniques Robert Berchtold used to brainwash, kidnap, and assault her over years. For anyone trying to understand the predatory mindset and how grooming affects young, absorbent minds, this is a must-listen.
