What it does
When it's hard to put a feeling into words, Tether lets you map it onto a shifting landscape of colour and sound — your inner weather. Then it connects you with others who feel the same, so you can leave and receive small notes of encouragement, and take a minute to breathe. It draws on ideas from psychology like affect labelling and mattering — the simple relief of naming a feeling, and of knowing you count to someone.
