As you probably now know, I’ve had readings with some of the best of the bunch, the most gifted and truly the most effective psychic readers alive. I am now at a point where I keep raising my standards for what makes a psychic medium fantastic. So when I write an article about a medium these days, you can be sure they are something special. What makes my job exciting is when I find someone who pushes the envelope on what is possible and adds a new exciting dimension to their reading that I have never before experienced. Pat McKenna did all of this and more. And it was one of the most psychologically healing readings I have ever had—no exaggeration!

Pat McKenna communicates with spirits, but she does it in her own unique way and with a specific focus in mind. Rather than actually see and hear spirits, Pat reads words that your spirit-guides put in her mind’s eye. The benefit of her reading words over listening to their voices is that the messages come through with exceptional clarity and speed. Most psychic mediums who hear spirits often have difficulty making out what some spirits are saying. As I’ve described in other articles explaining spirit communication, it is like listening to a faint radio station. For Pat, the words that pass in front of her appear sharp and understandable. Hence, her readings parallel what she sees—they, too, are clear-cut and comprehensible. This brings a remarkable flow to the reading that leaves you with no guessing, only clean, straightforward, messages.

Pat also sees images in her mind that she calls “pictorial metaphors.” These come through more like mini-movies than snapshots. The images Pat sees present a depth of insight about your life and where it is going. I really enjoyed these metaphoric depictions of my life and I gained a tremendous amount of understanding about myself from them. As Pat is often told by her clients, one reading with her is like getting months of psychotherapy sessions—instant transformation.

The specific focus that Pat has for each reading is healing, which comes in many possible forms. This may be attitudinal healing, mental and emotional healing, relational healing, even physical healing and diagnosis. Much of the healing that comes from a reading with Pat is due to messages that help us with personal development and problem solving—including some problems or issues of which we are not even aware. Let me give you some examples from my own reading.

I had no idea what to expect in my reading with Pat. I had never heard of someone who could “read words” from spirit.  The messages Pat received came from my spirit guides: including men, women and one angelic force with what Pat described as a powerful energy. Pat started out with an overview of my life and where it was going.

The overview often comes through for Pat as a pictorial metaphor. In my reading, Pat saw me as a boy sitting on hill. Under me were copper plates that reflected my image as I looked down. The image and message meant that I was truly in this life for a ride (no complacency). I was sitting safely on the hill, but when I got nervous and looked down I would see my reflection which represented my ego that wanted to control things. Long story short, this overview depicted that this life was a lesson in surrendering to the Universe and trusting it. It would teach me that whenever I tried to control anything, I would fall further down the hill. This is true for anyone, but these are lessons that have hit hard for this former control freak.

Pat then gave me messages from my spirit-guides of how this lesson would be incorporated into my future. Lucky for me, the messages came forth with an optimistic forecast. Apparently, this spiritual journey I’ve been on for the last three-and-a-half years is having a positive impact.

Next in my reading, Pat went into my early childhood to see the events and circumstances that formed the attitudes that would affect my entire life. Pat told me that most of her clients continue to deal with these attitudes well into adulthood—with some people never shedding these attitudes before they pass on. This is neither good nor bad, but most of us have attitudinal issues that would serve us well to eliminate.

First Pat went into my “pre-birth attitudes.” Again beginning with an image, Pat saw me as a child skateboarding into life. I had my baseball cap on sideways and I came in fast and in control. The boy said, “This is going to be an easy mission if I keep it simple and do not complicate it.” Again, that message of trusting the process and my own intuitive instincts underlies the image. Pat then jumped to my future and explained how this attitude would play out for me. Once hearing her describe it, it was obviously important that I keep this lesson in mind at all times.

Next another image quickly followed: me as “a policeman directing traffic who was practically dancing with tremendous compassion, high ambition and high intuition.” The policeman directing traffic portrayed my life in the work I do now and will be doing even more in the coming years. My articles, books and magazine help direct people to the most gifted and appropriate practitioners for healing and spiritual growth. This is work about which I am extremely passionate. And it is this passion (based in compassion for others) that makes it feel more like a dance than a job and drives my ambition with effortless force.

The “high intuition” aspect of that image came with the message that I need to follow my intuition over my intellect. My guides told me through Pat that I will falter whenever I think things through too much—the paralysis of analysis. Again, trusting in my connection with the Universe will better guide me. Just imagine a police officer directing traffic with too much contemplation—a quick recipe for a traffic jam!

With each image, Pat McKenna not only interpreted it, but also applied it to my life at different ages. With the skateboard metaphor, she had stories to convey about my past-lives. With the policeman metaphor, she told me about issues I overcame at the age of twelve. She specifically spoke of incidents that occurred in school with other children of which she could not have been more accurate. Remembering these incidents, and hearing about the lessons I learned in other lifetimes, was immensely healing. And it all made so much sense, like answers I had subconsciously been searching for over many years.

These types of messages from Pat covered other years of my childhood, from birth to age three, until Pat had revealed the core of what made up my psychological attitude. In essence, she brought to light the best and worst of what has made me… well, me. And the reason this was healing was due to illuminating this essence of what makes me “Bob Olson.” It was much more than revealing, however; it was an epiphany that changed my view of myself—in a most affirmative and constructive way. For this reason, I can honestly say that my reading with Pat was life altering.

The second part of my reading was equally enjoyable. These messages dealt with the relationships in my life, beginning with my parents. You know how we sometimes wonder why particular people are in our lives? This is the part of the reading where we can find answers to such questions. And, again, I have to say it was both accurate and confirming.

I won’t get into this very personal aspect of my reading with you, but I should tell you that Pat’s messages had my father, my mother, my sister, my wife and a few other relatives pegged. In fact, I can truthfully say that Pat knew aspects about each person, and my relationship with each person, which even I had never thought about before, but they could not have been better expressed. Once these messages came through, I had a much better understanding of each person and the reason each person is in my life. I have no doubt that the insight I gained from this reading will add a new verve to my relationships with these people.

My father, who is now deceased, arrived in spirit to Pat during this part of my reading. It was a joyful reunion. He expressed to Pat the pride and elation he felt at my birth and during my childhood. Pat also described aspects of my father’s personality and life-events with uncanny accuracy. She was undoubtedly with him at that moment of my reading and it was obvious that his affection for me inflated Pat’s energy with love and joy. This part of the reading was very similar to that of other top psychic mediums with whom I’ve had readings, yet I got the added benefit of a psychological understanding of why my father lived his life the way he did.

Finally, Pat allowed me to ask questions about any area of my life that I wanted further insight. For the purpose of testing Pat—because I had a great deal of clarity in these areas—I chose career and marriage. Pat again impressed me with the detailed accuracy of her messages. This is a woman who had never met me before this reading, yet she spoke as if she had known me for years. And her predictions for my future paralleled the predictions I had received from other gifted psychic mediums and even spiritual practitioners such as two astrologers, a tarot card reader and a palm reader (honestly, they all had the same in depth messages for my future including dated timelines).

What a gift it was to myself to be able to have a reading that not only allowed me to receive messages from the spirits who watch over and guide me, but also to be able to discover what I am in this life to learn, what pre-birth and childhood issues helped to create the person I am today, why certain people are in my life and how to improve those relationships, and then get meaningful answers to my questions regarding my career, my relationships, my body, my emotional and psychological makeup, my past-lives or anything else I wish to ask my spirit guides.

My reading with Pat McKenna proved to me that she has a most unusual and versatile gift. Because of the way it works—reading words that she sees in her mind’s eye—the messages are remarkably clear and direct. And because she is extremely adept at reaching into and healing emotional and relational issues, as well as childhood trauma issues, I recommend a reading with Pat for anyone who has used therapy for years with little-to-no success.

If you are interested in having this type of rewarding and therapeutic experience, tell Pat that you read Bob Olson’s article about her and you want to have a reading just like mine. It may just change your life.
