Maven,

I have seen some shows that show part of the hypnosis. Usually it's the suggestions more then the induction. Yet that is better then nothing. If you search the net you can find all sorts of hypnosis videos. Most of the are instant inductions instead of the progressive relaxation alot of the hypnotherapists use. I guess if they showed the entire hypnosis session they wouldn't have time for the show.

I have also heard of hypnosis inductions being done on different TV shows that put some of the very highly suggestible watchers at home into a "trance" state. I've heard people say this is alot of the reason why they don't show too much of the induction.
