    Our approach to attention practice

    AttentionTraining is an independent sound-based practice tool. Our guided recordings combine an English spoken orientation with distinct sounds arranged around the listener. The mixer lets you choose and position sounds yourself, with no narration to follow.

    If you are searching for Attention Training Technique (ATT) audio used in metacognitive therapy, the distinction matters: this app does not deliver the official clinical ATT protocol and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the MCT Institute. It is not therapy or a substitute for professional care. If a therapist has recommended ATT, follow their instructions and recommended materials.

    Before you press play

    Can I listen without signing up?

    Yes. Each guided recording has a 45-second sample. To play the 2 free full sessions, create an account and confirm your email. The other full recordings require paid access.

    Is this meditation or clinical treatment?

    The focus here is listening to external sounds and choosing where to direct attention. We do not present these recordings as a meditation course or clinical treatment, and we do not promise particular health outcomes.

    Where can I learn more before starting?

    Our beginner’s guide to attention training with sound explains the listening setup and how to explore the app.
