We will conduct interviews to explore people’s experiences of their complex emotions to understand how emotions vary and what impacts them. This will involve interviewing people to understand their lives and situations, and how these influence their experiences of complex emotions. We will look at how patterns of complex emotions might differ between individuals.
We will also study people’s experiences of care for complex emotions. We will focus on the relationships between clinicians and service users and how these impact people’s recovery. We will also focus on how individual characteristics, such as someone’s race or gender identity, impact on the care they receive, as we know that people from marginalised communities often don’t receive the standard of care that they should.
