Trauma Interrupted with Jan Broberg

What If We Talked About Trauma Like We Talk About Cancer? with Austen Tanner and Teresa Agustin

[Content Warning]: Child Sexual Abuse, Grooming, 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.
