Peak Performance for Writers

Get your blog, book, or script out — let expert author and therapist Merle Bombardieri help you overcome creative blocks using peak performance therapy and coaching.

Because Merle Bombardieri writes non-fiction and fiction herself, she has heightened empathy for writers’ struggles, and an insider’s knowledge of what makes writing easier and more fun.

Do you have trouble working in flow? Do you wonder why writing is agony at some times and ecstasy at others?

During hypnosis, you will re-experience the mind-body energy and flow of your most creative episodes in the past. We will then have you imagine future scenes, with pen in hand or hands on the keyboard, smiling as the words spill out with ease onto the paper or screen.

As an added bonus, your own mind in a trance state will teach you how to write more easily in the future. This often frees you for greater creativity and productivity. Merle can also help you use this approach for performing arts, fine arts, and public speaking.

Creative risk-taking for writers

Maybe you’re a productive writer, but suspect you’re playing it safe by avoiding an exciting but risky project that could lead to failure or embarrassment. By confronting these fears in talk therapy and hypnosis, and by imagining your completed work, you may find the courage to go forward.

Overcoming creative block to write in flow

Do you freeze when you face a blank screen? Merle has creative exercises that will help you sneak your first draft past the critic. Although understanding the causes of your block may be enlightening, Merle’s focus is on the actions you take now to get the words flowing.

Merle will also help you change your critic to a helpful editor who naps while you get down the first draft, and wakes up when it’s time for revision.

“It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.”
— Joan Baez
