Abstract
The Stock Exchange is not renowned for its love of technology, and its strong‐armed reaction to the product offered to investors by Electronic Share Information Limited (ESI), a Cambridge‐based computer company, and Sharelink Ltd, the Birmingham‐based execution‐only share dealing service, in September 1995, was perhaps unsurprising.

Abstract
Purpose
Lived mental health experience (LMHE) is a term describing the direct impact of a mental health problem or being a mental health carer. This study aims to qualitatively explore how UK-based trainee clinical psychologists with LMHE navigate doctoral training.
Design/methodology/approach
Trainee clinical psychologists (TCPs; N = 12) who self-reported LMHE completed a semi-structured interview which was analysed using constructivist grounded theory (CGT).
Findings
The end model had six main categories: the pressured system; narratives about LMHE within the profession; developing trainee identity and sense of self; disclosing LMHE within the professional context; building safe, balanced and reciprocal relationships with other professionals; drawing upon LMHE within clinical practice. The end model is visually depicted as an hourglass to represent receiving and internalising external information which influences identity development and bidirectionally filters outwards to shape interactions and relationships.
Social implications
Findings have implications for TCPs, course centres and using trusts.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first CGT study to qualitatively explore how TCPs with LMHE navigate the holistic trajectory of doctoral clinical psychology training.
