Phase 2 : Participants see all over their life. /Researcher sences participants' pattern recognition, Phase 3 : Participants reconfirm their life, and find new way of life. /Researcher understands participants more profoundly, Phase 4 : Participants find out their new possibility, and become stable. /Researcher recognizes participants' transformation and growth.
