Much care has been paid to reflexivity, including considering emotional sensitivities?in relation to face-to-face interviews. However, less attention has been paid to the impact of sensitivities on the process of data?analysis and the presentation of research findings. This paper focuses on?what constitutes 'the data' to be analysed, who analyses and interprets the data, what is silenced and what is made public, and what?this might mean for feminist research practice in areas considered to be 'sensitive'. It examines these issues by focusing on research on abortion decision-making in which the views?and emotions?of the researcher were profoundly challenged by women's constructions of narratives containing a theme?of?abortion regret. The paper demonstrates how theoretical perspectives -- in this case, feminist standpoint theory -- can be used in sensitive research, to allow the researcher to resolve such tensions?by providing a means through which greater attention can be paid to the context of participants' narratives.
