When I watch TV am I hypnotized?
I sometimes get so into a movie or even a commercial that I zone out everyone around me, my husband will have to yell at me to get my attention. Is this a state of hypnosis? Are television programs and commercials designed to hypnotize us?
Watching TV typically puts us in a state of what we call "hypnosis". Deep states of trance distort our perception of time, or takes off to fantasy worlds. TV combined visuals and auditory sensory inputs provides ideal media to put us into trance (providing we are relaxed when watching)
Media advertisers know full well how gullible we are to advertising even when we think we are not!
