Maureen

Maureen is your therapeutic toolkit for compulsive overeating and intrusive food thoughts. Whether you're navigating binge eating, restriction, food avoidance, compulsive behaviors, or body image thoughts, you don't have to know what to call it. This is your quiet space to go to when the thoughts get loud. Here, you're equipped with a comprehensive suite of evidence-informed coping techniques to steadily meet intrusive urges and thoughts in the moment. Every practice is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Your Toolkit • Urge Surfing — Ride out the urge without acting on it. Name it, track the intensity, breathe through the peak, and watch it pass. Noticing it is the practice. • Breathwork & Somatic Exercises — Physiological Sigh, Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Body Scan, and Progressive Muscle Relaxation. Settle your nervous system directly when the pull feels physical or stress is elevated. • Cognitive Defusion — 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding, Leaves on a Stream, and Thought Defusion. Create distance between you and the thoughts that feel most real using clinically-validated therapeutic approaches. • The Ladder — Build your own exposure hierarchy based on Subjective Units of Distress (SUDs). Face avoided situations gradually, starting small and working up at your own pace. • Moments — Write an intimate reflection after every session. Maureen's Insight Engine reviews your entries and surfaces patterns in your own words back to you over time. • Futures Mail — Write letters to your future self. Choose a delivery date, and Maureen holds them safely until then. Sometimes it's easier to be more kind to your future self. • Peer Groups — Join small support groups with others working through similar patterns. Share advice, pins, polls, and words of encouragement. • Meal Planning — Plan meals, build templates, and log what you eat. No calorie counting. Just structure around food. • Safety Plan — Keep your personal crisis resources, coping strategies, and emergency contacts close by.

Designed With Care • Built for real moments, not perfect ones • Evidence-based techniques from ACT and CBT • Adapts to your rhythm with personalized insights • Core toolkit and Insights Engine works fully offline • Light and dark mode included
