Tyler, so nice to meet you.
First question is when did you
know you had this gift? Yeah,
thank you for having me.
You know, this really started for me
when I was actually 10 years old.
I had a premonition in my grandmother's
death and at the time she and I were
very close and I went to bed early
one night and just woke up and had
this knowingness that my grandmother
was going to pass away and at the
time it really just felt like a
memory that hadn't happened yet.
It was really hard to understand
and I went to express this to my
mom and as I was telling her we
were interrupted by a phone call
and when she picked up the phone.
It was made out on the other end saying
that my grandmother had just died,
so that was really the catalyst.
But you know,
it took years of these kind of
brief moments of knowing this
to identify it as an ability.
So is it OK if I ask a little
bit of information about you,
know how the information comes through?
Do you? Do you see anything or
can you hear something talk?
Or they're more shirts
than once talking to you?
I always say The Sixth Sense uses
the other five senses to communicate,
so I get impressions which are really just
brief and almost subtle kind of feelings.
That I have to be able to
recognize and then deliver,
but I have sometimes we get
a very strong mental image,
kind of like a waking Daydream.
Other times it will come through almost
as like having a song stuck in my head,
but it might be a name.
And then there's other times where
I'll get physical sensations that
correspond with how somebody passed.
But I've trained myself to basically
kind of open up and identify these
impressions as they come through,
interpret them in a way that makes sense,
and then deliver them in a
way that gets validated.
Does it ever come through
when you don't want it to?
Like are you passing a stranger
in the street and you get this?
Overwhelming feeling.
Can you turn it off?
Absolutely so I I'm liking it more to volume.
Dial in the sense that excuse me,
I'm able to kind of turn down the volume
when I'm going about my day to day life.
And then when I go to
reading I kind of preparing.
Consciously turn that volume up.
But there's times when I'm in public
where I have done reading spontaneously,
especially when I was younger and
kind of identifying my ability.
I would test myself and walk up to people,
but I've also learned there is a time and
a place to share these messages, and so
I always prefer that people come to me.
You know, with the request.
For reading,
it's never wanna invade somebody's privacy.
You know, I think there's so many
of us who experienced a lot of loss.
It's so badly want to believe but I I know
there has to be skeptics out there as well.
How do you earn people's trust? Yeah,
I think validation is everything
and I think it's actually important
to be skeptically minded.
I think it's how we find answers to things.
It's how we ask questions
and that leads to answers.
But I would say there is a fine line
between skepticism and cynicism,
and I think I've read A lot of people
who did start off as skeptics,
and many of which come to these events,
which I encourage.
Because it does allow for an opportunity
to see this process in a way that's
just unedited kind of free flowing,
and you see that when details come through
like someone's last words or inside jokes,
there's certain things that come
through that there's no way that
could be known through other means,
and that's the type of reading I try to give.
Whether I'm reading a celebrity in
everyday person, it doesn't matter,
but I will say non celebrities are a
lot easier to read because there's a lot
less about them which is helpful for me.
Would you mind sharing who your
favorite celebrity is to read?
Get over 200 celebrity
readings Latoya Jackson,
RuPaul Boy George was a notable one.
It's hard to pick a favorite.
Still will really emotional
but I you know I would say my
reading with RuPaul was probably
one of my favorites. Wow,
it's gotta be hard though,
because when you're a celebrity,
eat when you're on TV,
kind of put on this persona,
is it hard to crack through
that with the celebrities?
Definitely yeah. There's definitely a
conversation around ego and you know,
they these celebrities would
come to these readings not
knowing what I was going to say.
So I think there's sometimes was a
guardedness that I kind of had to get.
True, but you know everyone
left with some takeaway,
which I think was valuable and
that was always the goal.
But some more than others.
On your show Hollywood medium,
there often is a lot of tears
during the reading, does it?
What does it feel like to be
able to connect people with loved
ones like I can't even imagine
being able to talk to my mom?
I mean, I would probably be slobbering
just crying all over you, but I mean,
does it feel good to be able to
share that closure with folks you
know? It's honestly a complete privilege.
I feel every time I'm in that
position that I'm just so honored
to be able to be able to connect.
And it's it's humbling, you know, I I see.
These readings and I watched them as a
viewer and it's weird 'cause it doesn't
feel like me doing it in the moment.
It just feels like I'm just part
of the process experiencing it with
the person and it's just extremely
cathartic and and humbling.
You know, I I've always found that
important that this is an ability I
was privileged enough to be able to
do and I don't take credit for it and
I I think it's just something that
I'm lucky enough to be able to share.
Yeah,
I lost both of my parents at a
relatively young age and I have
something I struggle with all the time.
Believing that they're
still with me in some way,
hoping that's the case,
but not really true,
is it your belief that our loved
ones never really leave us?
Absolutely,
and I find that there's a number
of ways that they communicate.
Synchronicity,
being probably one of the biggest,
synchronicity is basically just a
meaningful coincidence and a lot of
people have gone through the grief process.
Acknowledge these kind of
interesting coincidences that they
notice that seem to have meaning,
and I find that that's one of the greatest
ways that they communicate equally.
Sometimes in dreams.
If you're one inclined
to remember your dreams.
Sometimes will come through that way.
There's a lot of ways that they communicate,
and I think it's just about
kind of being the bridge opening
ourselves up to that communication
and recognizing it when it happens
because it's important to not write
it off because these coincidences
can can be really meaningful.
I
have to agree with you.
I think that if we're all honest
with ourselves, we've had a moment
or two where this has happened and
and we've taken pause and it's I.
I guess it's it is hearing from
you validating to know that it's
OK to take comfort in that.
I really cannot wait to see you
in action and you have two.
Upcoming shows in Snoqualmie
and these at Snoqualmie Casino.
September 17 and 18th, right.
What can people expect at your shows?
Well, it's going to be a two part show,
so the first part I basically did
share a little bit about myself
and really about my ability,
which will help lend context to the readings.
So in a show, the second portion
I do as many readings as I can,
usually ranges from 10 to 15, and I do
as many in the time the time allotted.
But it's just a great opportunity to
see the process, unfiltered, unedited,
in a way that really is meaningful.
And I think even if.
You don't personally receive
a reading at that event,
so many people tell me later that they
see these readings as they happen
to other people and find comfort
in the messages that others get.
So we all kind of go on that
journey together, and it's.
It's just really emotional for me.
Even so, I'm very excited.
And if you would like to see Tyler Henry
in person, you can still get tickets
to the show at the Snoqualmie Casino.
There are two dates,
September 17th and September 18th.

Yeah, get this.
It's like back to school like
