In addition to her hypnosis expertise, Ms Carmen also talks about her love of theatre and music and shares her personal life experiences here so that you, dear readers, may get a delightful peek into the world of the hypnotic and intoxicating presence that is Ms Carmen.
Miz Ava: Hello Carmen! First let me say thank you for agreeing to this interview. It’s quite an honor to have this opportunity to get to know you, as I’ve always
been so intrigued by your background in hypnosis and how this plays out in your phone sessions.
Ms Carmen: Why thank you, Miz Ava!
Miz Ava:Â I also understand that you have quite a bit of experience in theatre, yes?
Ms Carmen: Yes, I have always had a great love of theatre and dramatic arts. I’ve even taught acting classes.
Miz Ava: Wow, that’s impressive! Where did the interest in hypnosis stem from?Â
Ms Carmen: I realized that what I was doing in acting classes with my students was definitely a form of hypnosis
 Miz Ava: Interesting
 Ms Carmen: So I began to take some classes and now I have had extensive training … and I am STILL in classes because I have
decided to become a clinical hypnotherapist
 Ms Carmen: I will hopefully be finished entirely by spring of two thousand eight and will open my own practice then
 Miz Ava: Amazing…good for you!
 Ms Carmen: Thank you. I honestly had no idea the doors this would open here!
 Miz Ava: Have you ever been hypnotized?
 Ms Carmen: Yes I have
 Ms Carmen: Everyone can be hypnotized. In fact, we all have, at one time or another
 Ms Carmen: Have you ever driven on a monotonous highway for many miles and suddenly cannot recall some of it?
 Miz Ava: Oh yes…or sometimes I can’t remember coming through a certain part of the neighborhood even though I know I must have because I am past it
 Ms Carmen: Well, there you go– that’s a type of hypnosis. Daydreaming
 is another form.
Â
 Ms Carmen: There are so many misconceptions about hypnosis
 Miz Ava: Now, I always thought (and I am sure some who are reading this also would agree) that hypnosis is something that someone does to you
 Miz Ava: I didn’t realize there were other form  of hypnosis
 Ms Carmen: Yes, hypnosis is all about trance … and the different ways that a trance comes about
 Ms Carmen: Misconceptions come mostly from stage hypnosis… I have nothing to do with that
 Miz Ava: So are hypnosis and trance two different things then? Forgive me if I sound ignorant
 Ms Carmen: Heavens, it’s okay not to know about it… most people don’t
 Ms Carmen: But hypnosis and trance are basically the same thing
 Miz Ava: Ok
 Ms Carmen: Even getting lost in a television show and not hearing someone speak to you … that’s a form of trance or hypnosis
 Ms Carmen: It’s a matter of focusing … and in the case of a hypnotherapist working with you … it become inner focus
 Miz Ava: Well, now, getting lost in front of the tv or listening to music– we’ve all been there!
 Ms Carmen: We sure have
 Ms Carmen: And you can imagine, Miz Ava, how intense a fantasy will be when there is NO distraction from the outside at all
 Miz Ava: Sounds difficult to achieve in the kind of world and surroundings we often find ourselves in
 Ms Carmen: Yes and that is why people go to a hypnotist or hypnotherapist for help in achieving this
 Miz Ava: So many of us are scattered on the inside
 Ms Carmen: I have several clients who call me because they can’t do it themselves, not even by using mp3s
 Ms Carmen: Well actually, our conscious mind is what is scattered
 Miz Ava: Yes, that is more accurate
 Ms Carmen: Our conscious mind is the critical “thinking” part of our mind … and it makes up twelve percent of our daily brain usage
 Ms Carmen: Eighty-eight percent is unconscious (or subconscious!)
 Miz Ava: This is so fascinating
 Ms Carmen: Isn’t that amazing??
 Miz Ava: Yes
 Ms Carmen: So a therapist will tap into that…through relaxation we ask the conscious mind to take a step backward …
 relax and sleep for a bit… allowing the much bigger unconscious mind to take over
 Ms Carmen: My feminization sessions are very, very successful because the desire to be feminine…the NEED to be in many cases…
 is right there in the unconscious mind and just has to be brought “forward”
 Miz Ava: That’s so incredible!  I love hearing you talk about this too, because its more than evident this is something you are passionate about your craft
 Ms Carmen: So I take control…I dominate the unconscious…and bring out the real person that way
 Ms Carmen: Oh it’s hard for me to stop once I get started, watch out! (laughs)
 Miz Ava: No, no I love it
 Ms Carmen: I do love it…more and more every day
 Ms Carmen: It’s a lot of work … I am in classes on Saturdays now from am to 5 pm … still so much to learn
 Ms Carmen: But with each mind being so different…the playing field is vast
 Miz Ava: That makes sense though…as every day we learn more and more about the brain and how it works
 Ms Carmen: So I guess it is natural that I have become the type of domme I am …and probably always was meant to be
 Ms Carmen: I’m much more interested in the mind
 Ms Carmen: It’s very important to understand one thing–a person under hypnosis–a person in any kind of trance … will NEVER do anything they don’t want to do
 Miz Ava: I totally believe that
 Ms Carmen: So I am not imposing anything upon them
 Ms Carmen: In fact I won’t do sessions with anyone unless I have established with him that he really wants a change
 Miz Ava: You can dominate the unconscious, but you are only bringing out what was already in there
 Ms Carmen: Exactly!
 Miz Ava: That’s good to know
 Ms Carmen: It’s vital
 Miz Ava: And it’s good that you brought that up actually, so as not to lead anyone into any misconceptions about what your specialties are
 Miz Ava: Let me ask this: Are there a larger ratio of clients who come to you for hypnosis that are also seeking feminization?
 Ms Carmen: Yes, the majority
Â
 Ms Carmen: We have publicized my skills in feminization more…through the website www.hypnofemme.com
 Miz Ava: Ah, very nice
 Ms Carmen: I also am working on another site www.hypnoseductress.com which is a general hypno site and also features erotic hypnosis
 Miz Ava: So, what is erotic hypnosis then, in its generalist terms?
 Ms Carmen: There are two main areas, then … feminization by hypnosis and erotic hypnosis
 Miz Ava: Yes
 Ms Carmen: The latter is primarily sexual fantasy
 Miz Ava: Contrast the two for the benefit of our readers
 Ms Carmen: It is absolutely possible for a client to masturbate during hypnosis, so an erotic hypnosis session may involve
 exactly that…an intense fantasy requested by the client. OR—
 Ms Carmen: Tease and denial
 Miz Ava: Oh yes…I can see how that would work very well into that
 Ms Carmen: Denying an orgasm to a hypnotized client is yummy, for sure
 Miz Ava: Indeed!!
 Ms Carmen: I just love it
 Ms Carmen: HOWEVER, it is essential that I am entirely sure that the client wants to be controlled in that way
 Miz Ava: What does ensuring this entail?
:] Ms Carmen: I interview my clients prior to induction
 Ms Carmen: Hypnosis for the pleasure/gain of the therapist is not really usually the focus
 Miz Ava: Well and that would be unethical too
 Ms Carmen: Yes it is, unless that is specifically what the session is for
 Miz Ava: Right, that would be a different case all together then
 Ms Carmen: I try to do these interviews via email and IM, by the way, rather than during a paid session
 Miz Ava: That is really a nice touch….I am sure your clients appreciate that as well
 Ms Carmen: The term which we have applied to what I do, by the way, is “hypnodomme”
 Miz Ava: Who would not be considered a good candidate for phone hypnosis?
 Ms Carmen: Hmmm…that is a good question
 Ms Carmen: I have indeed turned down requests for sessions, and usually it is because the potential client is not really willing to be hypnotized
 Miz Ava: Is it an instinctual feeling you have about some clients?
Ms Carmen: Not really instinctive, but evidential. As I said I do interviews and I ask specific questions
Ms Carmen: If someone is just “trying it out” I do not want to waste his money or time and certainly not my time
 Ms Carmen: They must have a goal
 Miz Ava: Yes, you have a nice system in place to weed out anyone who would not really benefit from hypnosis
 Ms Carmen: Just the question “what do you seek in hypnosis?” or “what is your goal for this session” produces very revealing answers
 Miz Ava: I am sure they do
 Ms Carmen: I only eliminate clients based on the above criteria. Anyone can be brought under hypnosis,
 even on the phone .. but they must be completely willing. If they want to resist me, why pay me to do this?Â
 So I must assume that they will cooperate fully and I have many many different induction methods to accommodate all personalities
 Miz Ava: Excellent
 Miz Ava: What I’d like to do now, is ask a few things about Carmen….just so that readers can get a little peak into your likes and dislikes in a general way
 Ms Carmen: Sounds great!
 Miz Ava: Ok! What do you do to relax when you’re not working or in school, etc.?
 Ms Carmen: Theatre, film and reading
 Miz Ava: What was the last production you saw? Or film, or both!
 Ms Carmen: I have subscriptions to most of the professional theatres near me and I love indie films so I see as many as I can .. I am also a Netflix junkie
 Miz Ava: I love that!
 Ms Carmen: Well, the last show I saw was “Buddy” .. a musical about Buddy Holly .. and tomorrow night I will see “Twelve Angry Men.”Â
 I am woefully behind in my movie watching! I have a copy of “Babel” sitting right here that I haven’t watched yet.Â
 I guess the last film I saw was UNFORTUNATELY “Music and Lyrics,” on Valentines Day. It was complete trash.
 Ms Carmen: That’s why I stick to indie films if I can. And I am reading “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” at present.
 Miz Ava: If you had to choose one movie genre: Comedy or drama?
 Ms Carmen: Ohhh wow … comedy or drama … hmmmm
 Ms Carmen: Well I probably would go for a drama. Comedy is nice though, especially when I’m tired (laughs)
 Ms Carmen: I was primarily a musical theatre director so I do like those, but they can’t be fluff… I like the drama-inspired musicals like “Rentâ€?
 Miz Ava: What is the best musical you have seen to date?
 Ms Carmen: “Les Miserables�
 Miz Ava: Why?
 Ms Carmen: It’s gritty and real, but still has that ethereal (willing suspension of disbelief) quality of any musical. Yet it’s deeply tragic and inspiring
 Miz Ava: Lovely! Very, very well put
 Miz Ava: If a famous actress were to play you in a movie, who would it be?
 Ms Carmen: Sara Ramirez. She plays “Callie” on Grey’s Anatomy
 Ms Carmen: She is plumper and more curvy than I am … but she speaks volumes with her eyes and her subtext (what is under the lines, mind stuff), is incredible
 Miz Ava: Yes. She’s gorgeous, I know who you mean and I can see the appeal too
 Ms Carmen: She also won a Tony for her singing/dancing/acting in “Spamalot” and there is that side of me too
 Ms Carmen: So yes, I would be honored to have her play me
 Miz Ava: You rely on words and tone of voice a lot to put clients in a sexy mood. Â
 What has been the most sexy words ever spoken to you? In other words, what kinds of things do you like to hear?
 Ms Carmen: The words that arouse me the most are … “You own me.”
 Miz Ava: Mmmmm
 Miz Ava: Now, is there something that we didn’t touch on that you would like to bring up?
 Ms Carmen: Yes, my sexuality.
 Miz Ava: How the hell could I have skipped that topic???
 Ms Carmen: (laughs)
 Miz Ava: I guess you had me so hypnotized here I forgot what I was supposed to be doing!
 Ms Carmen: (laughs) Yes of course!
 Ms Carmen: I have discovered that my clients really love to find out that I live with a woman
 Miz Ava: So, have you enjoyed women primarily in intimate relationships throughout your life?
 Ms Carmen: I was married to a man at one point (I’m forty-two, so my life experience is vast, and yes I am not a “young thingâ€?)
 Miz Ava: No you are just perfect
 Ms Carmen: And no, I have only just allowed myself to completely enjoy women in the last eight years or so.Â
 I find that it has enhanced my prowess as a domme quite thoroughly!
 Miz Ava: Where do you think this came from?
 Ms Carmen: Sure, let me expand on that
 Ms Carmen: What I want to get across is that my partner, Alanna, and I still play with men, but they are boy-toys
 Ms Carmen: I want to mention Alanna because a lot of callers know about her…she is scorekeeper for me on trivia
 games, etc., and I do a lot of fantasies where she is involved such sissy boys serving us in bed, etc
 Miz Ava: So, Alanna, your partner, is a submissive woman
 Ms Carmen: Yes, most of the time, but sometimes she takes control, just to let me experience the feeling of being a sub, to enhance my own skills as a domme
 Miz Ava: Nice
 Miz Ava: How did you and Alanna got together?
 Ms Carmen: Theatre–we met at a cocktail party after an opening
 Ms Carmen: She was there with a man … I was there with a man … we connected
 Miz Ava: Ahh, I see
 Ms Carmen: We’re quite different in some ways, she is a project specialist for a biotech company … the right and left brain connection
 Miz Ava: Oh, how complementary!  The right/left connection! It sounds like you are really happy, and Alanna is a lucky lady!
 Ms Carmen: I moved to the Pacific Northwest to be with her last summer
 Ms Carmen: We have a “houseboy”, and occasionally some sissy maids
 Miz Ava: Wow, Carmen…you really do get to experience the best of both worlds!Â
Ms Carmen: Yes, I am a lucky woman to really be able enjoy what I do and have such wonderful people in my life
Miz Ava: When all is said and done, there really isn’t much more to it than that.
Ms Carmen: Very true
Miz Ava: Well, Ms Carmen, I can’t tell you what an enormous pleasure it has been speaking with you today! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with me.
Ms Carmen: You are quite welcome. I enjoyed talking to you too, Miz Ava.Â
