Tired of getting ghosted?

Most adults were never taught how to connect under pressure. Attouch shows you the pattern behind your reactions and trains the next step with you.

Why you react the way you do

Pick a moment, and the brain lights up the parts that research links to it. Each part explains one piece of your reaction.

Pick a moment

  • Studied in this situation
  • Studied in a similar lab task
  • Our reading of separate findings

Parts involved

  • Amygdala

    Established

    Helps the brain notice what matters to you and gets the body ready to respond.

    A silence from someone who matters can register as important and uncertain, and your body reacts before you have a clear thought.

  • Insula

    Established

    Turns signals from inside the body, like a tight stomach, into feelings you can notice.

    The drop in your stomach when you check the phone is part of the feeling itself.

  • Reward system

    Simplified

    Helps you go after what feels rewarding, and closeness with someone counts as a reward.

    A reply that could arrive at any moment can keep your attention on the phone.

How Attouch helps

Understand your pattern. Practice the skill. Grow closer.

Answer a 5-minute test and finally see why you react the way you do, with the help of personalized modules.

  1. Learn

    Each module explains your attachment pattern, the neuroscience behind it and why stress changes how you react.

    In this sample, you have completed 3 of 13 modules.

  2. Practice

    Exercises train regulation, boundaries, repair and clear words. Each one explains why it works, what to do and when to use it.

  3. Together

    Invite a partner, friend or family member into a Bond. Learn about both of your styles and work through exercises made just for the two of you.

Better together with Bond

Some things are easier to work on together. Invite a partner, friend or family member and discover how your styles fit.

  • Just the two of you. A Bond is private between you and one other person.

  • Easy to start. Send an invite code and you’re connected.

  • For any close relationship. Choose romantic, friendship or family.

  • Personalized. 10 exercises built just for your connection type.

The four attachment styles

  • Secure

    Low anxiety and low avoidance.

  • Anxious

    High anxiety and low avoidance.

  • Avoidant

    Low anxiety and high avoidance.

  • Disorganized

    High anxiety and high avoidance.

You both see each other’s attachment style in the Bond.

Where the approach comes from

The modules draw on attachment theory, and the exercises use techniques from four therapies. Attouch has not tested the approach in formal trials.

Attachment theory

The assessment scores the two dimensions of attachment theory, anxiety and avoidance.

Techniques used by the exercises

Cognitive behavioral therapy
One exercise challenges thought patterns such as mind-reading and fortune-telling.
Dialectical behavior therapy
A skill for strong emotions starts with cold water on your face or an ice cube in your hand.
Schema therapy
An exercise uses visualization to meet emotional needs such as safety and consistency.
Acceptance and commitment therapy
One exercise asks you to frame an anxious thought as a passing mental event.
