What if love slowly starts to feel like you need to walk on eggshells to keep the peace in your relationship? The Cage You Can't See guides readers through the hidden world of coercive control, an insidious form of abuse that often goes unnoticed but leaves deep emotional scars. Written for those questioning the health of their long-term relationship, this book sheds light on how manipulation, belittling, and financial control can quietly evolve over time.

Through powerful stories and clear explanations, readers will begin to recognize the patterns that erode self-worth and independence. Written with compassion and clarity, this essential resource empowers victims to name what they have experienced, and understand it isn't their fault.

If you've ever felt confused, silenced, or like you're losing yourself in a relationship, this book may help you to see what's been hidden, and begin a path toward healing.
