Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I'm Stephanie Buckley an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and narcissistic relationships. I'm also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I've been married for over three decades.This work is informed by clinical expertise and shaped by lived experience, delivering a layered understanding that connects theory to everyday reality

Today we're pulling back the curtain on a volatile intersection: steroid abuse, 'roid rage, bipolar disorder, and narcissism and how these forces collide to create chaos in relationships, families, and careers. To make it real, we'll use Jax Taylor from Vanderpump Rules and The Valley as a public case study. His on-camera behavior the highs, the volatility, the defensiveness, the self-sabotage provides an unfiltered look at how this plays out in everyday life.
