| Summary: | Self-silencing is a relational strategy which is frequently adopted by women to avoid conflicts in relationships and to establish physical safety. This behaviour is critically influenced by gender-biased norms and deleteriously impacts women’s mental wellbeing in their constant suppression of emotions. This paper explores the concept of self-silencing and the role of anger in the context of women in their healing from sexual harassment trauma, and theologically reflects on some possibilities where the church can more faithfully respond to and support survivors in their struggles from sexual harassment. |
