Appendix 7 – Post Interview Reflections

Post Interview Reflections – interview 2 – Sandra

Overall I thought the interview went well as Sandra seemed well able to discuss the topic without too much prompting. Again I was surprised at her initial difficulty in articulating hope ut the I st uggle as ell a d I e ee doi g a fai it of esea h on the topic. Things to note: I thought there was a slightly more noticeable insider/outsider dynamic in comparison with the interview with Jamie and I wondered if it had something to do with her status as a clinical psychologist. I picked up on a few o asio s he she used ou to des i e ou selli g ps hologists. Ho e e I do t thi k this as of a det i e t to the interview and may have even allowed me to bracket my assumptions.

I thought our rhythm in the interview was a bit off and it may have been to do with time pressure as a result of the (removed to preserve anonymity). I thought that this may have resulted in a slightly hurried interview and I felt some pressure to keep track of time and ensure that we covered the key areas. I noticed that on more than one occasion that I had to bite my tongue to prevent myself interrupting her when she paused as I had assumed she had come to the end of her response.

I was aware that Sandra used technical language on some occasions, for example she used acronyms for therapy modalities and I had a choice to make in asking her to explain it or allow her to continue. Although I intended to get close to her experience and avoid assumptions I also had to be pragmatic as if I asked her what she meant every time she used a technical term the flow would have been broken and we would not have gotten anywhere. I also reasoned that as I was trying to move beyond the jargon to her experience this would involve me acknowledging some understanding of psychological concepts.

I liked that I was more comfortable with the interview schedule than in the first interview and was able to hold it lightly (metaphorically), although there were one or two moments when I needed to glance at the questions to confirm that it had been covered.

For the next interview I would like to really familiarise myself with the schedule so that I can hold it in my mind without needing to look at it as the participants seem to have a knack at raising relevant topics without prompting.
