The purpose of this paper is to share Laura Scranage’s story.
Laura wrote a short piece detailing her journey and was then interviewed by Robert.
Laura spoke about the difficulties she has faced in life and how her experiences with horses have been deeply therapeutic.
Recovery 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.
Laura advocates for more research into how horses can be used in therapeutic interventions.
There is so much to learn from a story such as Laura’s, for those who have had similar experiences and for those who work in mental health services.
This is the first time that Laura has chosen to share her unique story.
