AI-companion attachment describes forming a primary emotional bond with a chatbot, AI friend, or AI partner — a pattern that can displace human connection and raise clinical questions about isolation, grief, and reality-testing. Evidence-based supports include attachment-informed therapy, CBT, and relational approaches grounded in interpersonal neurobiology. Offline.now lists a growing network of licensed therapists who work with AI-companion attachment.
