Traditional academic writing forces researchers to hide their learning journey and pretend to be neutral experts, but this new approach—the Experiential Growth Literature Review—lets you document what confused you, what clicked, and how your understanding evolved while still maintaining scholarly quality. This matters especially for healthcare practitioners becoming researchers, PhD students, and anyone working on emotionally difficult topics, because it shows that being honest about your position and experience can produce better insights than pretending to be objective.
