Sarah CefaiGUEST
yeah the first most most important finding from from my perspective and actually it's not a finding about how people got better but it's a finding that lets people know that we should be doing more social and cultural research and the finding was is that there is consistency in what people say if you sort of like um look more deeply behind the sort of biographical idiosyncrasies around who people are and what they were doing.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
And of course, when you go into a particular community environment, people do share language in terms of reference.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
And it's true that perhaps the more we speak about these things, the more they become real things that people speak about.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
But on the other hand, you know, that happens because that's a place of resonance for a lot of people.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
language yeah mindset is the community's language right okay raylan and from interviewees And before I started the analysis, I was interested in what that was a placeholder for, because, I mean, I knew it wasn't like positive thinking or any, you know, I mean, that that was that was to be taken for granted.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
But then but then what? what were people saying? And also, were there moments in which when you listen to people's narrations, you could see a mindset shift or they were talking about a mindset shift, but they might not necessarily be using the language of mindset.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
And I think it's a useful term because of its So the way that it's a sea change and that there's a sentience to mindset as well.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
So in my understanding of what people are saying, when they talk about hearing a recovery story for the first time or the moment they can remember when they realize that they could actually get better, they are describing a sort of realignment of, you know, thinking and feeling and their sort of like, yeah, like their disposition or something like that.

Sarah CefaiGUEST
And in the report, I talk about particular themes because that's what the method of analysis kind of says.
