All emotions that are part of the human experience find expression either verbally or non-verbally, either in the form of communication or in symptoms. One of the difficult emotions for many women to acknowledge and express is anger. When anger is not expressed it is suppressed or repressed. One type of suppression is self-silencing, which has been studied by several researchers, especially Dana Jack. Women tend to self-silence for various reasons. Self-silencing can result in debilitating consequences.

520 $a All emotions that are part of the human experience find expression either verbally or non-verbally, either in the form of communication or in symptoms. One of the difficult emotions for many women to acknowledge and express is anger. When anger is not expressed it is suppressed or repressed. One type of suppression is self-silencing, which has been studied by several researchers, especially Dana Jack. Women tend to self-silence for various reasons. Self-silencing can result in debilitating consequences.
520 $a The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze the effects of using expressive arts as a medium for facilitating anger expression in women. Expressive arts have been found to aid individuals in accessing unconscious material, including suppressed emotions. A three-day weekend workshop was designed to educate women on expressive arts therapy and Jack's (1987) theory of self-silencing. The weekend provided women with the experience of expressive arts in conjunction with accessing suppressed anger.
520 $a This mixed-methods multiple case study examined the experience of six women (ages 23 to 69) in recognizing, acknowledging, and expressing suppressed anger through expressive arts. Data were collected through in-depth background interviews, participants' journals, artwork from the weekend, and final interviews at the conclusion of the weekend. Additionally, the Silencing the Self Scale (STSS; Jack, 1987) was administered pre and post.
520 $a A cross-case thematic analysis yielded six themes present in all cases: (a) anger is dangerous; (b) anger must be suppressed or I will alienate others; (c) I cannot share my real feelings; (d) expressive arts fosters self-awareness of emotions and self-silencing; (e) expressive arts fosters a sense of safety and freedom in being my true self; and (f) expressive arts fosters self-acceptance of anger. Participation in the workshop produced substantial beneficial changes in all participants' manifestation of the six themes. The study's findings supported five summary statements about women's experiences of anger, their self-silencing, and their transformation through an expressive arts experience. The findings highlighted the role of group process as a therapeutic element. Suggestions were provided for future research.
