Most people think boundaries fail because others won’t listen. In reality, the deeper problem is something far more personal—and surprisingly common.

📺 Live streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and Riverside In the latest episode of the Soulreign podcast, Amanda M Dodd sits down with the multifaceted Shawn Kostiuk, a hypnotherapist, educator, and public speaker. Sean shares his fascinating journey into the world of hypnosis, shedding light on how his upbringing and experiences shaped his career. This blog post explores the key insights from their conversation, offering readers a glimpse into the life of a man who wears many hats and the intriguing world of hypnotherapy. The Start of a Unique Journey Sean’s story begins in rural Saskatchewan, where growing up in a quiet area left him with ample time to explore his interests. With limited distractions outside of his small town, he found solace in the imaginative realm of science fiction. His exposure to the Sci-Fi channel sparked a curiosity about hypnosis, which he initially viewed through the lens of mind control portrayed in various media. "If I could do that, I could control the world," he mused, highlighting a common misconception about hypnosis. Education and Discovery Sean’s true understanding of hypnosis began during his time at the University of Saskatchewan. He discovered a wealth of knowledge in the library, transitioning his perception of hypnosis from a fantastical concept to a legitimate practice. "In university, I found real information and realized this is pretty cool," he recalls. This pivotal moment ignited his passion for learning more about the art and science of hypnosis. The Role of Education in Hypnotherapy As an educator, Sean emphasizes that traditional education methods are evolving. He explains that not all students thrive in conventional academic settings, and alternate pathways should be available. His experiences resonate with Amanda, who recounts a teacher who encouraged her to pursue her passions outside of the traditional educational framework. Sean’s journey reflects a growing awareness in the educational system about the diverse needs of students. Connecting with Students It's clear that Sean's dual role as a hypnotherapist and educator enriches his interactions with students. "Once they find out that I'm a hypnotist, they all scream, ‘hypnotize me!’" he laughs. This curiosity leads to discussions that challenge their perceptions of consciousness and awareness. Sean cleverly engages his students by asking them when they think they fall asleep, prompting a deeper reflection on their understanding of their own minds. A Foundation in Clinical Hypnosis Sean began his career focusing on clinical hypnotherapy, driven by a desire to understand the craft thoroughly. "Reading all the books is one thing, but you need to double-check that you actually know your stuff," he explains. His commitment to mastering the practice led him to seek out certifications and courses that would enhance his skills, setting a strong foundation for his future endeavors in both clinical and stage hypnosis. The Evolution of Learning In a world where technology is rapidly changing education, Sean advocates for micro-learning and democratized access to knowledge. He discusses new AI tools that facilitate personalized learning experiences, emphasizing the importance of maintaining high standards in a digital age. This insight is especially relevant for educators seeking to adapt to the evolving landscape of learning. Sean Kostiuk’s journey into hypnosis is a testament to the power of curiosity and the importance of following one’s passions. His story serves as an inspiration for anyone navigating their path in life, reminding us that education is not one-size-fits-all and that exploring unconventional interests can lead to fulfilling careers. Key takeaways from this episode include the significance of embracing diverse learning styles, the value of understanding hypnosis beyond the myths, and the importance of continually seeking knowledge in an ever-changing world.

📺 Live streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and Riverside In this expansive and consciousness-opening episode of Soulreign with Amanda M Dodd, Amanda is joined by Gila Zak! The Intrigue of Handwriting Analysis Gila Zak explains that handwriting analysis, or graphology, is not just an esoteric practice but also a blend of critical thinking and creativity. She refers to it as a form of "psychic statistics," where certain handwriting traits correlate with specific personality traits. For example, if someone writes with big, loopy letters, they may require physical connection and reassurance, indicating a need for emotional intimacy. The Evolution of Handwriting Both Amanda and Gila discuss how handwriting changes over time, reflecting personal growth and transformation. Gila emphasizes that as we navigate through life, especially during pivotal moments like puberty, our handwriting evolves to represent our individuality. This is particularly evident as we differentiate ourselves from our family and societal influences.

You’re not tired. You’re boundary depleted. You’re tired of: Being the bigger person Being the calm one Being the understanding one Being the emotionally responsible one You’re the one people vent to. The one who smooths things over. The one who doesn’t “cause drama.” And yet… you’re resentful. You love the people in your life. But sometimes you fantasize about disappearing for a week just to feel peace. That’s not because you’re selfish. It’s because you’re overextended.

Recently, a former client returned to me. We had previously worked together for relief from Complex PTSD. She had done deep, courageous work. But this time she came back carrying something new — something sudden and devastating. A very close friend had passed away unexpectedly. Not only that… she witnessed it. And that’s where things became complicated. Every time she thought of her friend, she didn’t see their laughter. She didn’t remember their shared memories. She didn’t feel the love. Instead, her mind replayed the final, jarring images of her friend’s passing. On repeat. The brain can do this when shock and trauma are present. It clings to the last intense imprint. Those final moments become fused to the identity of the person we lost. And suddenly, love gets overshadowed by horror.
