A self-guided EMDR-style companion for the tender relationship between emotions and eating. Pendulum helps you notice what's underneath a craving, process it gently with bilateral stimulation, and come back to yourself — with kindness, never shame.
A complete phase-based session: calm place, target setup, sets of bilateral eye movements with alternating audio tones, installation of a kinder belief, body scan, and a gentle closure.
Write about cravings and reflections, with an optional gentle AI companion that names possible emotional themes and offers a kind journaling prompt — never advice, never judgement.
Track sessions and trends if you want to — but success here is caring for yourself a little more each week, not a number dropping.
A curated list of peer-reviewed studies on EMDR and eating difficulties, summarised plainly, with links to the original papers.
Pendulum is a self-care companion, not therapy, and it doesn't replace care from a qualified professional. EMDR is best delivered by a trained, licensed clinician — especially for major trauma, active eating disorders, or anything that feels too big to hold alone. The app will always point you toward support when that's the kinder choice.
