How do I start healing from childhood trauma when I don't know where to begin?

Rabia teaches us that healing doesn't require a perfect plan—it requires presence. Start by noticing what you feel without judgment. A difficult childhood leaves traces in how you move through the world: maybe you're hypervigilant, or you struggle to trust, or you pour from an empty cup. These aren't flaws; they're evidence of what you survived. The beginning is gentle: name one small way your childhood still affects you. Not to blame yourself, but to know yourself. Then ask: what small act of tenderness could I offer myself this week? Rabia's legacy is pure devotion—but first, that devotion can be directed inward. You might journal, walk in silence, sit with a trusted person, or simply rest without earning it. Healing isn't linear or fast. It's about slowly learning that you deserve care not because you've fixed yourself, but because you exist. What matters most is starting with compassion, not criticism. Notice what you need. That noticing is already healing.
