Welcome to 2023, and I made it. I say I made it because sometimes we feel like we are making it, and now it's time to transition into loving it. Thanks for joining me and listening to the "Trauma and Social Work" podcast. I am your host Tonya Octave, the integrative holistic clinician. Over the next few months, the focus is on journaling and self-reflection. I took some time off to mediate about what was helpful to others. Sometimes that is hearing my voice, with all my crazy ideas. Mostly it is finding your voice. One way to do this is with some guided support. This season is about supporting you in your journey of self-discovery. To accomplish this, two things are suggested. Purchasing "Heal Thy Mind: Seven Strategies Towards Mental Wellness, and Happiness, and Success" and "Journal Towards Wellness, Happiness, and Success." Both are available on Amazon for a low cost. However, if money is a real challenge, contact me directly. I hope you can get the best out of this process. Remember that you also don't need the books to listen; you have choices and can listen to this podcast in any helpful capacity.    For each podcast episode, I will go through the journal touching on things that come up for me, personally and professionally, and based on countless conversations. You will discover parts of my ego and personality as you get to know me through this process. Some you may appreciate, and some you can pass on, and all that is absolutely okay. This journal practice is about you and ways to improve your wellness, happiness, and success. This is why I created this simple plan: the seven strategies I keep talking about.   This episode will focus on "What makes a true friend?"

Season three will focus on the Octave's Method. I will discuss seven strategies to "Heal Thy Mind" and how you can develop, implement, and strategize a plan to bring you towards wellness, happiness, and success. The Octave's Method is a simple way to talk about an integrative plan using my last name. There are seven strategies. One, O is for observation, to address one's spiritual health. Two, C is for compassion, to manage one's ego health. Three, T is for therapy to address mental and emotional health. Four, A is for animals to address playful, childlike behaviors and consider animals and pets to support this process. Five, V is for Victuals, one's nutritional health. Six, E is for exercise, and one's physical health. Seven, S is for socializing; relational health primarily focuses on the self and less on others.
