Participant's prior beliefs, degree of reconceptualisation, perceived relevance of PNE, and perceptions of benefit are shown. The tissue damage reconceptualisation and role of emotion reconceptualisation categories looked at change from pre-PNE. Blank (—) spaces indicate that the issue was not discussed. “Yes” and “No” are used when there was clear evidence related to the theme and partial when there was tentative evidence. Unclear is used when the issue was discussed, but it could not be determined whether the evidence supported or refuted the issue. P6 did not provide a second interview. F = females, M = male.
