is a sense that the emotional movement of the participants is reflected in the process of the
analysis. Just as they went through a learning curve as they attended counselling and reflexively
portrayed their thoughts and feelings in the journals so the method of analysing reflects my
process of engagement with the study. Time away when I was unable to work almost closed
down my ability to think constructively may be the stuck position of uncontained-unfree. This
seems likely as when I returned to the work there was an enormous sense of having been
processing the study without even realizing it, as if internally and perhaps unconsciously, I had
been constantly looking around to view where I was. There was a new understanding as well as a
new enthusiasm for the work. It was at this point perhaps that the coming together of the
participants‟ voices and my voice developed. Their stories have their voices, but as I interpret
their narratives my voice takes over as I retell their stories, with my voice and make them part of
the story of the research.
