About BondType
We build tools that help people understand their relationship patterns.
Why We Built BondType
BondType exists because understanding your attachment style changes how you see your relationships. Our co-founder spent years in repetitive relationship patterns before a therapist introduced attachment theory — and something clicked.
Once they understood their anxious attachment style, patterns they'd blamed on bad luck or incompatible partners suddenly had a name and a structure. Research shows that when people understand their attachment style, they make more intentional choices in relationships and communicate more effectively with partners.
BondType started as a side project to make that "aha" moment accessible to more people — without needing a therapist to point the way. We build tools that help you understand your relationship patterns so you can build healthier connections.

The Science of Attachment
Attachment theory was developed by psychologist John Bowlby and expanded by Mary Ainsworth. It explains how the relationships we had as children shape the ones we have as adults.
Secure
Comfortable with closeness and independence. Can trust others and be themselves without excessive worry.
Anxious
Wants deep connection but worries constantly about being abandoned. Can feel like emotional whiplash.
Avoidant
Values independence heavily. Can feel suffocated in close relationships and tends to pull away.
Fearful
Craves closeness but fears vulnerability. Often feels stuck in contradictory relationship wants.
