Healing from codependency isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Whether you feel stuck in unhealthy patterns or you're ready to break free from losing yourself in relationships, finding the right support is essential.
If you’re exploring your options, you’ve likely heard about both Attached App and CoDA (Codependents Anonymous). This article will help you decide which path might work best for you by comparing these two powerful resources.
It’s important to understand your unique needs and how Attached or CoDA can provide the tools and support you require.
Attached is a digital self-help app tailored specifically for people struggling with codependency and relationship anxiety. It blends psychology-backed exercises, interactive journaling, and AI-driven coaching to support your healing experience, most importantly, making it personalized.
Attached is your on-demand guide to breaking free from people-pleasing and building healthy emotional independence.
Key Features of Attached:
Attached is designed to meet you where you are and guide you at your own pace, making it ideal for those looking for a structured, yet flexible approach to codependency recovery.
CoDA (Codependents Anonymous) is a 12-step recovery program modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous. It focuses on healing through shared experiences, accountability, and spiritual growth. CoDA provides a framework to understand and overcome codependent behaviors while fostering healthy relationships.
Key Features of CoDA:
CoDA is best for people seeking a community-driven and spiritually oriented recovery process.
To decide between Attached and CoDA, consider your personal goals, preferred support style, and schedule.

Codependency recovery, like most personal growth journeys, exists on a spectrum. For some, an app like Attached offers the flexibility and tools they need to take small, practical steps toward healing. For others, a group-oriented program like CoDA provides the structure and support system to work through deep-seated behaviors.
Both Attached and CoDA can complement each other as well, allowing you to pair individual work with communal healing.
If you’re looking for a modern, science-backed approach to breaking free from codependency and relationship anxiety, Attached offers on-demand coaching, actionable lessons, and personalized tools at your fingertips.
If you prefer a spiritual, community-driven framework, CoDA provides the support and shared experiences you need to work through the 12 steps of recovery.
Codependency healing isn’t about choosing one solution forever—it’s about finding what works best for you today.
As a person who stumbled onto Attached, I didn't know what to expect. I worked with other apps, for meditation, journaling as well as having motivational quotes every day but nothing like Attached which put these features all into one easy to use app.
Attached is by far, one of the best apps making use of the advances in AI to make a customized approach to attending to ones emotional and mental needs. I'm glad I got to stumble upon Attached, and I'm sure anyone who reads will too.

The personalized meditations have helped me navigate moments of anxiety, and knowing there is an active community makes me feel less alone. Attached has been a very worthwhile investment for me.

It’s helped me process a lot of my emotions in a healthy manner. I’d say I’m in the best state of my life and it’s helped me identify a lot of key points. The AI is sincerely useful but more than that, the people are honest

I normally pay for a very expensive therapist. I was triggered and then spent the past hour talking to Eden. I was able to go deep. It’s an on demand therapist that would usually cost hundred of dollars an hour. Wow!

I've really enjoyed using this app. It has been the most helpful therapy app of the few I've tried. The team behind it is always improving the experience and seems to really care about the program. It has been a great additional tool to use alongside my other traditional therapies
