When couples rely on apps for emotional connection

My spouse and I use a couples therapy app and it's helping us communicate better but something feels mechanical about following prompts to talk about our feelings and I'm worried we're learning to perform intimacy rather than actually be intimate. We're both afraid to stop using it because it's working but also afraid we're replacing real connection with a digital substitute.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are caught between the efficiency of technological assistance and the uncertainty of their own unguided capacity for intimacy.
