🌟 The 6 Access Model for Hypnosis: A Complete Guide to Enhancing Client Responsiveness 🌟

“People don’t resist influence—they resist being controlled. But when you activate the right internal states, they welcome your guidance.” – David Barron (aka Dantalion Jones)

🔮 Introduction

Hypnosis isn’t just about induction scripts or deep trance states. It’s 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 Hughes’ Six-Axis Model of Influence—a 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 client’s 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.

Let’s break it all down—step by step—with real techniques, linguistic patterns, behavioral strategies, and practical applications.

🧠 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

💡 Pro Tip: You only need three of these active at once to get results—but activating four to six creates deep, lasting responsiveness.

1. 🌈 EXPECTANCY — 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: “You’re going to do great at this. You’ll look back and know this was one of the best decisions you’ve made.”
Reinforce excitement: If they mention being excited, say: “That’s exactly the state of mind that’s going to help you!”
Congruence matters: Your tone, body language, and energy must match your words. If you say “This is amazing!” but sound flat, expectancy collapses.

🎯 Non-linguistic boost: Create an environment full of positive cues—client 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. 🔍 FOCUS — Directed Attention = Power

What it is: The client’s ability to zero in on your words, instructions, or experience without distraction.

Three linguistic tools:

A. Positive Association

“I’ve met people in your field whose focus is so sharp—they get results instantly.”

B. Negative Dissociation

“Some people go into a session looking around, distracted, half-thinking about their to-do list… and wonder why nothing changes.”

(The client internally says: “I’m not like that.”)

C. The Compliment Method

“How is it you’re able to focus so completely? I really admire that.”

💬 Real-world application (from Tyrone in sales):
Client says: “I’ve been burned before.”
You respond: “That’s perfect—because your skepticism means you’re going to focus deeply on everything I say. And that focus is exactly what leads to breakthroughs.”

3. 🌱 OPENNESS — Willingness to Receive

What it is: A readiness to set aside judgment and truly engage with the process.

Linguistic activation:

Positive Association:
“People who are truly open—they just let go of ‘shoulds’ and allow themselves to receive. That’s when magic happens.”
Negative Dissociation:
“Some folks sit there arms crossed, thinking the hypnotist is going to ‘do something to them’… and block their own results.”
Compliment:
“You seem like someone who’s really open to new experiences. Is that something you’ve always had?”

🧘‍♂️ Key insight: Openness is not passive—it’s an active choice. Frame it as a strength, not a vulnerability.

4. 💞 CONNECTION — The Bridge of Trust

What it is: A felt sense of rapport, safety, and mutual understanding.

How to build it:

Voice of Experience Induction:
“As you hear my voice, you feel deeply connected to it.” (Point to your mouth as you say this.)
Positive Association:
“There are people you meet and—almost instantly—you feel like you know them. Like there’s a real connection.”
Compliment:
“I noticed how quickly you tuned in when we started talking. That kind of connection is rare—and powerful.”

❤️ Ethical note: Always validate skepticism. Say:
“I totally get it—you’ve been hurt before. Let’s just put that aside for now. My only goal is to give you value.”

5. ✅ COMPLIANCE — The Habit of Following Instructions

What it is: The client’s willingness to do what you ask—even small things.

You cannot compliment someone into compliance (“Wow, you’re so obedient!”—awkward!). Instead, use behavioral entrainment:

Step-by-step behavioral entrainment:

At scheduling:
“Go to your calendar now. Find [date/time]. Block that hour. I’ll wait.” (Silence = expectation of action.)
At session start:
“Sit with your back supported. Feet flat on the floor. Take a deep breath.”
During induction:
“Close your eyes. Look left… right… down… now up.”

These tiny acts train the nervous system to follow your lead—building momentum toward deeper compliance.

🪜 Legacy tip: Jeff Stevens (David’s mentor) always began with:
“Sit up straight. Take a deep breath.” Simple. Effective. Foundational.

6. 🌀 SUGGESTIBILITY — The Gateway to Change

What it is: The client’s capacity to accept and act on suggestions—the core of hypnosis.

How to activate it:

Pre-talk script (David’s method):
“All you have to do is follow my instructions.
When I say focus, focus completely—don’t think, don’t hesitate, don’t wonder if you’re doing it right.
When I ask you to imagine, imagine as if it’s absolutely real.
I may go fast—just follow along. Ready?” (Wait for nod or “yes.”)
Use “receptiveness” as a proxy:
“You’re so receptive—it’s clear you’re ready for this change.” (Sounds natural vs. “suggestible.”)

🧠 Neurological note: Suggestibility follows compliance. Once they’re used to following small instructions, big suggestions land effortlessly.

🧩 Integrating the Model: The “Bottle Analogy”

Chase Hughes compares each axis to a bottle. Your job isn’t to fill one bottle to the top—but to pour a little into each, repeatedly, until they overflow with responsiveness.

✅ Best practice: In every session, check off at least 3 of the 6 qualities within the first 10–15 minutes.
David literally writes “Connection? Openness? Expectancy?” on his session notes and ticks them off as he activates each.

🤝 The Human Element: Compassion First

Before any technique—see the person.

“Everyone is hiding an internal injury. They wear masks to look ‘normal.’ Your job is to see past the mask—with compassion.” – David Barron

Acknowledge skepticism: “I get it. You’ve been let down before.”
Speak from care, not control.
Your intent shapes your impact.

🌍 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.

🎯 Tyrone’s sales reframe:
“Even if you don’t work with me, I want you to leave this call with more clarity than when you started.”
→ Builds expectancy, connection, and focus—all in one sentence.

🧭 Final Tips for Mastery

Confidence is key: Move at a comfortable, even pace. Rushing kills trust.
Less is more: 3–4 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.
