Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to share Robyn Clegg-Gibson's story. Design/methodology/approach: Robyn wrote a biography of her experiences. Robert then asked a series of questions from the perspective of a mental health academic researcher. Findings: Robyn 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 Robyn has written is very emotional. Her story will give readers an insight into her life and experiences. Social implications: There is so much to learn from a story like Robyn's. In particular, from her experiences of police processes after a crime. Originality/value: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that Robyn has chosen to publish her unique story in the written form. The value of Robyn sharing her story is apparent upon reading it.
