“…Described as the 'linguistic form uniquely suited for displaying human existence as situated action' [13, p.5], narratives use language as the tool to make an experience meaningful [15]. In the use of language, multiple discourses from one's experiences can be expressed, presenting the shift and changes in subjectivity, rather than a stable, or fixed self [16]. As time has been shown to be significant to narrative construction [15,17], it is of importance to this research to also consider the effect of time on the exercise experiences of the person with epilepsy.…”

Abstract:Research has presented the benefits of and barriers to exercise for people with epilepsy through quantitative means. However, individual experiences through qualitative investigations have been absent. This research will present the narratives of people with epilepsy exercising over time and as a result, develop further understanding of the psychosocial impact of exercising with epilepsy. Four interviews were conducted over the course of one year (one every three to four months) with four participants (aged 23-38 years) who varied in seizure type and control (16 interviews in total). A narrative analysis was used to analyze their exercise experiences. Results showed that exercise creates a positive effect on psychological and physical well-being. However, prevention from exercise as a result of medical advice or re-current seizures can create negative effects such as social isolation, anxiety, lack of confidence, frustration, and anger. Adaptations of decreasing exercise intensity level and partaking in different physical activities are techniques used to lessen the negative impact and maintain an exercise routine. Time was shown to be an important factor in this adaptation as well as portrayed the cyclical responses of negative and positive emotions in regards to their exercise life. These findings provide valuable insight into the psychosocial benefits of and barriers to exercising with epilepsy, and draw attention to the individual differences in how a person with epilepsy copes with uncontrolled seizures and their impact on his/her exercise routine. This knowledge can lead to future research in exploring how a person with epilepsy can overcome these barriers to exercise and encourage more people with epilepsy to enjoy the benefits of exercise. Key Words:-Epilepsy; Exercise; Adaptation; Qualitative; Quality of life; Psychological Highlights:-Qualitative insight into exercising with epilepsy -Exercise is felt to be beneficial to overall physical and psychological well-being.-Adaptation methods increase the ability to maintain an exercise routine.-Time is a factor in coping with the impact of epilepsy upon one's exercise routine.2

“…McIlveen (2007) said "autoethnography offers practitioners a means of contributing to theory and practice while remaining genuine to their individual self and practice contexts" (p. 308). In autoethnography, the practice of writing as a method of inquiry and discovery is empowering and rigorous (Richardson, 2000;Wright, 2009;Wright & Cunningham, 2013). The researcher's subjectivity is seen as a legitimate source of knowledge and yet there always remains more to be known (Meekums, 2008;Richardson, 2000).…”

The researcher's subjectivity is seen as a legitimate source of knowledge and yet there always remains more to be known (Meekums, 2008;Richardson, 2000).In the current study, we took a personal narrative approach to autoethnography (Ellis et al, 2011) and disseminate our results alongside current literature on related feminist supervision concepts.The question of where to begin is one that both novice and seasoned researchers often face with varying degrees of anxiety. Through the use of autoethnography, the researcher can use her experience as an entry point by connecting theory and practice (McIlveen, 2007), a prominent practice in both feminist theory and autoethnography.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore our development as new supervisors learning to apply feminist supervision principles. Autoethnography was used to analyze author histories and learning processes over the course of one academic semester. Using personal narratives and critical reflections, we investigated our work of supervising beginning-level supervisees from a feminist perspective, and embodying our developing feminist supervisor skills and identities. Our inquiry was informed by our encounters with supervisees, supervisors, and each other. Basic definitions of supervision and feminist supervision frame the study, and results are shared in light of current research and theory. Keywords feminist supervision, clinical supervision, autoethnographyThis article is available in The Journal of Counselor Preparation and Supervision: http://repository.wcsu.edu/jcps/vol9/iss2/9For both novice and expert counselors, the words clinical supervisor may evoke images of knower and known. To supervise the work of another suggests we know something -or at least, are able to see something -that supervisees do not. Assuming this epistemological stance of knower -in therapy, supervision, or research -requires choice and invites self-awareness and reflexivity. To supervise from a feminist stance invites critical reflection on this knower-known dichotomy and requires even greater attention to context, subjectivity, difference, power, and mutuality.Although researchers have explored various tenets of feminist supervision (Gentile, Ballous, Roffman, & Ritchie, 2009;Mangione, Mears, Vincent, & Hawes, 2011;Nelson, Gizara, Hope, Phelps, Steward, & Weitzman, 2006;Szymanski, 2003), there exists a lack of research exploring doctoral student supervisors' experiences of feminist supervision with beginning-level supervisees. Furthermore, this has yet to be completed using authoethnographic methodology, a self-critical, emotional, and relational writing process (de Preez, 2008;Meekums, 2008). We believe that such an endeavor will enrich and extend our knowledge of the scope and context of feminist supervision across supervisor and supervisee developmental levels. To that end, the questions we sought to explore in this autoethnographic project were the following: How do we undertake this process of becoming a supervisor who is feminist? What does it mean to be a feminist supervisor with beginning-level supervisees, and what does it look like for us? How can we embody and claim this identity as a supervisor who is feminist? To explore these, we first turn to the basic definitions of supervision and feminist supervision. Supervision Clinical SupervisionClinical supervision has been defined as "a process whereby consistent observation and evaluation of the counseling process is provided by a trained and experienced professional who recognizes and is competent in the unique body of knowledge and skill required for professional development" (Haynes, Corey, & Moulton, 2003, p. 3). In this manuscript, we focus exclusively on supervision ...

“…L'usage de la fiction en sciences sociales s'inscrit notamment dans le sillon des revendications des formes d'écriture comme construction socio-historique (Richardson et St Pierre, 2005 ;Denzin et Lincoln 1994, 2000Ellis et Bochner, 1999, 2000, 2003. Pour ces chercheurs qui participent du paradigme postpositiviste, les régimes d'écriture doivent tenir compte de la subjectivité du chercheur, de la relation entre le chercheur et son objet d'étude (Kulick & Willson, 1995 ;Lewin & Leap, 1996) et se distinguent Instrument de collecte de données, le journal de bord est largement recommandé dans le domaine des sciences sociales, mais aussi de plus en plus suggéré en recherche création.…”
