đ The 6 Access Model for Hypnosis: A Complete Guide to Enhancing Client Responsiveness đ
“People donât resist influenceâthey resist being controlled. But when you activate the right internal states, they welcome your guidance.” â David Barron (aka Dantalion Jones)
đŽ Introduction
Hypnosis isnât just about induction scripts or deep trance states. Itâs about activating specific psychological and behavioral qualities in your client that make them receptive, responsive, and open to transformation.
Enter the 6 Access Model for Hypnosis, based on Chase Hughesâ Six-Axis Model of Influenceâa powerful framework David Barron has adapted specifically for hypnotists, coaches, and communicators. This model focuses on six core states that, when activated, dramatically increase a clientâs suggestibility and compliance.
Whether you’re a hypnotist, sales professional, therapist, or influencer, mastering these six access points gives you ethical, effective, and immediate leverage in any interaction.
Letâs break it all downâstep by stepâwith real techniques, linguistic patterns, behavioral strategies, and practical applications.
đ§ The 6 Qualities of Influence
According to David Barron, there are six key qualities you can activate to enhance hypnotic responsiveness:
- .Expectancy
- .Focus
- .Openness
- .Connection
- .Compliance
- .Suggestibility
đĄ Pro Tip: You only need three of these active at once to get resultsâbut activating four to six creates deep, lasting responsiveness.
1. đ EXPECTANCY â The Anticipation of Success
What it is: A feeling of excitement, eagerness, or belief that something positive is about to happen.
How to activate it:
- At first contact: âYouâre going to do great at this. Youâll look back and know this was one of the best decisions youâve made.â
- Reinforce excitement: If they mention being excited, say: âThatâs exactly the state of mind thatâs going to help you!â
- Congruence matters: Your tone, body language, and energy must match your words. If you say âThis is amazing!â but sound flat, expectancy collapses.
đŻ Non-linguistic boost: Create an environment full of positive cuesâclient success photos, calm lighting, soothing music. One hypnotist David mentioned had a wall of smiling client photos to visually build expectancy before sessions even began.
2. đ FOCUS â Directed Attention = Power
What it is: The clientâs ability to zero in on your words, instructions, or experience without distraction.
Three linguistic tools:
A. Positive Association
âIâve met people in your field whose focus is so sharpâthey get results instantly.â
B. Negative Dissociation
âSome people go into a session looking around, distracted, half-thinking about their to-do list⌠and wonder why nothing changes.â
(The client internally says: âIâm not like that.â)
C. The Compliment Method
âHow is it youâre able to focus so completely? I really admire that.â
đŹ Real-world application (from Tyrone in sales):
Client says: âIâve been burned before.â
You respond: âThatâs perfectâbecause your skepticism means youâre going to focus deeply on everything I say. And that focus is exactly what leads to breakthroughs.â
3. đą OPENNESS â Willingness to Receive
What it is: A readiness to set aside judgment and truly engage with the process.
Linguistic activation:
- Positive Association:
âPeople who are truly openâthey just let go of âshouldsâ and allow themselves to receive. Thatâs when magic happens.â
- Negative Dissociation:
âSome folks sit there arms crossed, thinking the hypnotist is going to âdo something to themâ⌠and block their own results.â
- Compliment:
âYou seem like someone whoâs really open to new experiences. Is that something youâve always had?â
đ§ââď¸ Key insight: Openness is not passiveâitâs an active choice. Frame it as a strength, not a vulnerability.
4. đ CONNECTION â The Bridge of Trust
What it is: A felt sense of rapport, safety, and mutual understanding.
How to build it:
- Voice of Experience Induction:
âAs you hear my voice, you feel deeply connected to it.â (Point to your mouth as you say this.)
- Positive Association:
âThere are people you meet andâalmost instantlyâyou feel like you know them. Like thereâs a real connection.â
- Compliment:
âI noticed how quickly you tuned in when we started talking. That kind of connection is rareâand powerful.â
â¤ď¸ Ethical note: Always validate skepticism. Say:
âI totally get itâyouâve been hurt before. Letâs just put that aside for now. My only goal is to give you value.â
5. â COMPLIANCE â The Habit of Following Instructions
What it is: The clientâs willingness to do what you askâeven small things.
You cannot compliment someone into compliance (âWow, youâre so obedient!ââawkward!). Instead, use behavioral entrainment:
Step-by-step behavioral entrainment:
- At scheduling:
âGo to your calendar now. Find [date/time]. Block that hour. Iâll wait.â (Silence = expectation of action.)
- At session start:
âSit with your back supported. Feet flat on the floor. Take a deep breath.â
- During induction:
âClose your eyes. Look left⌠right⌠down⌠now up.â
These tiny acts train the nervous system to follow your leadâbuilding momentum toward deeper compliance.
đŞ Legacy tip: Jeff Stevens (Davidâs mentor) always began with:
âSit up straight. Take a deep breath.â Simple. Effective. Foundational.
6. đ SUGGESTIBILITY â The Gateway to Change
What it is: The clientâs capacity to accept and act on suggestionsâthe core of hypnosis.
How to activate it:
- Pre-talk script (Davidâs method):
âAll you have to do is follow my instructions.
When I say focus, focus completelyâdonât think, donât hesitate, donât wonder if youâre doing it right.
When I ask you to imagine, imagine as if itâs absolutely real.
I may go fastâjust follow along. Ready?â (Wait for nod or âyes.â) - Use âreceptivenessâ as a proxy:
âYouâre so receptiveâitâs clear youâre ready for this change.â (Sounds natural vs. âsuggestible.â)
đ§ Neurological note: Suggestibility follows compliance. Once theyâre used to following small instructions, big suggestions land effortlessly.
đ§Š Integrating the Model: The âBottle Analogyâ
Chase Hughes compares each axis to a bottle. Your job isnât to fill one bottle to the topâbut to pour a little into each, repeatedly, until they overflow with responsiveness.
â Best practice: In every session, check off at least 3 of the 6 qualities within the first 10â15 minutes.
David literally writes âConnection? Openness? Expectancy?â on his session notes and ticks them off as he activates each.
đ¤ The Human Element: Compassion First
Before any techniqueâsee the person.
âEveryone is hiding an internal injury. They wear masks to look ânormal.â Your job is to see past the maskâwith compassion.â â David Barron
- Acknowledge skepticism: âI get it. Youâve been let down before.â
- Speak from care, not control.
- Your intent shapes your impact.
đ Practical Applications Beyond Hypnosis
This model works anywhere influence matters:
- Sales: Turn skepticism into focused curiosity.
- Coaching: Build openness to new perspectives.
- Leadership: Foster compliance through connection, not authority.
- Everyday conversations: Create instant rapport with compliments and association.
đŻ Tyroneâs sales reframe:
âEven if you donât work with me, I want you to leave this call with more clarity than when you started.â
â Builds expectancy, connection, and focusâall in one sentence.
đ§ Final Tips for Mastery
- Confidence is key: Move at a comfortable, even pace. Rushing kills trust.
- Less is more: 3â4 well-placed phrases > 20 forced ones.
- Track your progress: Note which axes you activated after each session.
- Ethics first: This is about empowerment, not manipulation.
