Resumé	Longitudinal Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (L-IPA) extends the IPA tradition by interviewing the same participants at multiple time points, allowing researchers to trace how the meaning of a lived experience evolves over time. Grounded in phenomenology and hermeneutics, L-IPA preserves idiographic depth at each wave while adding a temporal dimension that cross-sectional IPA cannot provide. It is used widely in health psychology, illness adjustment studies, and any domain where experience unfolds across a significant time span.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
