In this episode, Marie, Mallence and their guest, Dori Varga, delve into the concept of 'the invisible cage'. Coined by Mallence, it defines the stage where individuals in abusive relationships become acutely conscious of their situation. Termed the invisible cage due to the heavy burden of shame and trauma, it's not denial that keeps them in the relationship, but overwhelming fear and shame that make them feel trapped, unable to break free.
