Try Softer: A Gentle, Trauma-Informed guided Group for Women
6 Weeks of Support, Clarity, and Community.
Faith-integrated. Safe. Slow. Compassionate.
A softer way to heal. A safer way to grow.
If you’ve been longing for emotional clarity, nervous system support, and a space where you don’t have to hold everything together, this group was created for you.
Over 6 weeks, we’ll join together and explore what it means to Try Softer. To live with more compassion, grounding, and internal safety — in a space rooted in gentleness, trauma-informed care, and steady support.
This isn’t therapy.
It’s not high-pressure.
It’s a warm, guided community designed to complement the healing work you’re already doing — or hoping to begin.

This Group Is For Women Who…
Not currently in crisis, self-aware, and wanting support
Desire emotional and mental wellness
Want gentle faith integration (not heavy-handed or “religiousy”)
Are currently in therapy or considering starting
Crave community but get overwhelmed by intense or fast-paced groups
Long for a private, steady space to heal and grow
Have been healing for a while but have felt ‘alone’ and desire connection and support from other like-minded women.
If you’ve ever said, “I just want a safe place to heal, feel supported, and connected” — this is that place.
What’s Included
✔ Weekly group discussions
Supportive, paced conversations where you can share as much or as little as you’d like.
✔ Weekly reflection questions + journal prompts
Gentle ways to deepen your awareness without overwhelm.
✔ Trauma-informed guidance
Learn how your nervous system works and how to respond with compassion.
✔ Somatic & grounding practices
Simple, safe practices to help your body feel more regulated.
✔ Gentle faith integration
Encouragement and insights rooted in grace — no pressure, no spiritual bypassing.
✔ A supportive community
Women walking similar journeys, all committed to safety, kindness, and honoring each other’s pace.
Our Approach Is…
Trauma-informed
Focus on building safety, pacing, consent, and nervous system awareness guide everything we do.
Gentle
No pressure to share, perform, or “fix” anything.
Just space to breathe and grow.
Steady
Small steps, week by week, with compassion leading the way.
Faith-integrated
Grace-filled, grounded, and honoring your story — never religious or pushy.
What You’ll Gain
A safer relationship with your own emotions (especially the ones you were taught to suppress: anger, grief, fear, and disappointment)
Tools to calm the spiral when you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or emotionally flooded — without shaming yourself for “not being over it”
Language for betrayal pain and relational trauma, so you stop questioning your reality and start trusting yourself again
Support for the grief that comes with unmet expectations — in marriage, family, friendships, and faith spaces
A gentler way to hold faith if a damaging church experience or spiritual pressure has made it hard to feel safe in spiritual environments
New clarity around your relationship patterns (people-pleasing, hypervigilance, over-functioning, shutting down, staying stuck)
A steady sense of community with women who understand what it’s like to carry pain quietly — and are committed to safety and kindness
A felt sense of internal safety that helps you make clearer decisions, set boundaries, and move forward with more strength and softness

Meet your facilitators
Heather Berg
Heather Berg is a trauma-informed coach and graduate-level mental health counselor in training who walks alongside women and couples healing from betrayal trauma, complex PTSD, religious trauma, and stuck relational patterns. Her work is rooted in the Created To Move philosophy and the same invitation found in Try Softer: that real change doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from learning how to feel safer, more compassionate toward yourself, and more connected to what’s true inside.
Heather integrates IFS (parts work), somatic and polyvagal-informed practices, and the Enneagram as gentle tools for awareness and sustainable growth. Married for nearly 30 years and a mom to three young adult sons (including twins), she brings both lived experience and advanced training—especially in betrayal trauma and relationship repair—creating spaces where people don’t feel rushed, fixed, or judged, but supported in taking their next right step toward healing and wholeness.
Melissa Short
Melissa Short is a Trauma Recovery Coach who helps women heal from complex trauma (C-PTSD), attachment wounds, religious trauma, and painful relational patterns.
She integrates IFS (parts work), somatic and nervous system regulation practices, and mindfulness to support greater internal safety, clarity, and self-trust.
Married 15 years and a mom of one son, Melissa offers compassionate, steady guidance so women feel seen, empowered, and equipped to move toward healing, without pressure, perfection, or rushing the process—one gentle step at a time.
