Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to share Victoria Clare’s story.

Design/methodology/approach

Victoria wrote a biography of her experiences. Robert then asked a series of questions from the perspective of a mental health academic.

Findings

Victoria shared stories from her life, and how her experiences have shaped her life and herself.

Research limitations/implications

Narratives such as this give us an overview of only a single person’s experiences. However, they allow the person with lived experience to explore their story in depth.

Practical implications

What Victoria has written will give readers an insight into her life and experiences.

Social implications

There is so much to learn from a story like Victoria’s, especially in her approach to creativity.

Originality/value

This is Victoria’s own unique story. The value of this is apparent upon reading it.
