A necessary process of a principal investigator for critical self-reflection and explication of self within the individual and social constructs, biases, contexts, layers, power structures, identities, transparency, objectivity, and subjectivities for the viewpoint assumed within the research and the aspects of the self the researcher brings to the inquiry ( Throne & Bourke, 2019 ).

Abstract
This chapter presents researcher positionality within the specific context of practitioner doctoral research or practice-based research. The explication of researcher positionality is an essential precursor to practitioner doctoral inquiry for scholar-practitioners and can serve as a key anchor and measure for the scholar-practitioner's journey as new investigator and entrance to the scholarly academic community. The chapter also describes how the use of reflexivity may enhance fidelity of researcher positionality within practice-based doctoral research that informs professional practice. In addition, considerations and illustrations are offered for the evaluation and articulation of researcher positionality within the practitioner doctoral research journey that draws on the insider-outsider role of the scholar-practitioner as new researcher and seasoned practitioner.

Intuit What You Need: Within and Through an Immersion in the Holotropic Breathwork Community
An authentic description of a researcher’s biases and preconceptions related to their assumptions of nature (e.g., social reality, knowledge) which are formed by political stance, age, gender, sexuality, marital status, geographical location, disability, parental influences, ethnicity, membership affiliations, work experience, education, creativity, spiritual and/or religious beliefs, social and economic status, citizenship, and any other aspects the self-as-subject researcher is open and willing to mention as it relates to a specific research study; reflexivity and self-reflection (introspection) are necessary for a researcher to situate and continuously understand themselves and their role in the research throughout the entire process.
