The doctor is in! But what if the doctor isn't human? Our favorite psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, joins the podcast as we discuss the growing impact of AI, and specifically AE (artificial empathy), in the medical field and in the most important aspects of our daily life. What is Chatbot Therapy? Can AE make us better humans or is it merely manipulating us? This technology can be a game changer for providing support for human doctors in assessing actionable treatment and dramatically increasing access to mental healthcare services. But with all of the progressive promise also comes the potential perils. The father of AI has sounded the alarm warning us that AI is growing faster than we can control or regulate it. Global security agreements and regulation must be established and implemented before it's too late to prevent artificial intelligence from outsmarting us all.
You're not imagining it. Stress is making us anxious and it is effecting our thoughts, feelings, and physical bodies. Psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, is back to explain the importance of identifying/managing stress and understanding how anxiety effects each of us differently. And, gives us a simple stress test ( a great tool – really) that we can take anytime to tell us the truth about our stress and its affects. Building emotional resilience is the key to adapting to change and going with the tide. We must choose to be like to ocean to ride every wave of life.
To be human means you will experience stress at points in your life throughout the course of your life. It is part of the human condition that, if left unmanaged, leaves us gassed. Whether it's because of work, family, weather, finances, loss, illness, or even the news and social media, we all experience stress and, it seems like today, we are more stressed out than ever. Lucky for us, April is Stress Awareness Month. In this episode, we share some of our own stressors we're experiencing, discuss the importance of breathing and calming the mind, and emphasize the necessity of finding your own ways to unplug, unwind, and decompress to preserve your mental health and physical well-being.
This week we have the one and only John Tsilimparis, relationship therapist, in the house to sound off on our last 2 dating episodes with Indie and Jai.

This week is a BIG one for Ends with Z as we celebrate our 50th episode! Cecile, Juan, and Shawn reminisce on the beginnings of the podcast and recall some of their favorite show topics and episodes.

But for some, it can be a time of emotional distress brought on by family triggers, holiday traditions, loss, and loneliness. We bring back our favorite, psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, to help us navigate the 62-day, holiday season journey and give us tools that we all can use to make the holidays more joyous and less stressful this year.
We all love more of a good thing but are too many friends bad for you?

From what are the origins and importance of friendship, why it is the very thing that ensures our survival, how to find them and what we look for in a friend, and why you're not alone if you're having trouble getting yourself back out there after COVID. Grab a coffee, and sit with us as we eagerly pick John's brain on how to be a better friend.

With everything we have experienced over the past 2 years, It seems we are all trying find more capacity to handle what keeps coming at us. How do we preserve in the face of adversity or constant change? The key is to be more resilient--to heighten our self-awareness of the things we cannot control and our responses to those things. It is the radical acceptance of the highest order. We are all born resilient and we can learn how to be more adaptive and reactive to not just survive but to thrive. This is how we are all hardwired, it is as an innate human ability for self-preservation and protection. Begin and end every day knowing, no matter what, you can get yourself to a place where you know you can handle anything, be it a small, everyday frustration or a full blown, major crisis. Our favorite psychotherapist John Tsilimparis, MFT is back to show us how to keep doing the work that will help us tap into our resilience and thrive.
Whenever we experience worry, fear, anxiety or any emotional discomfort, our built-in "threat response," also known as the fight, flight or freeze mechanism kicks in and shifts into protection mode.

We are all living with massive uncertainty and fear every day caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented unemployment, and civil unrest. Our minds are overwhelmed with the stress and anxiety at the upending of every aspect of our lives. This COVID Mind has kicked us out of our comfort zone and our life as we knew it. What is all this doing to our minds and our bodies? In this podcast, Los Angeles-based Psychotherapist, John Tsilimparis, MFT, joins us once again to help us understand what is the COVID Mind; what the short- and long-term effects all of this stress is having on us. How do we help ourselves and our children cope with uncertainty? He gives us tips and tools he uses to help us focus and calm our fears and emotions. He also walks us through a mindfulness exercise we can all use anytime to access and activate our “boss mind” to create our new comfort zone where our mind and body can get through even the most fearful times.
To live on autopilot is to live unconsciously through parts of our life. The human ability to switch to autopilot mode is a self-preservation, survival mechanism. We are all born with it. It enables us to filter and prioritize what bombards us as we go through our day so that we can cope, focus, and make decisions. In this podcast, we talk to Dr. John Tsilimparis, a Los Angeles-based Psychotherapist and Huffington Post contributor, to understand what it means to live on autopilot—how we do it, why we do it, and how it affects the decisions we make. He shows us how to be more mindful in order to recognize if our autopilot is on or off. He also gives us tools and tips we can use to help us be in better control of it and to live a more balanced life.

The seventh episode of Broken covers anxiety. Hannah and Alexa start the episode by sharing some listener feedback. Hannah responds to a comment she made about divorce on an earlier episode and clarifies what she intended. Hannah and Alexa then introduce John Tsilimparis, MFT. John is a psychotherapist, author, speaker, and expert on anxiety who practices in Los Angeles, California. He also shares about his own experience with anxiety. John begins by defining anxiety and provides information about impairment and knowing when levels of anxiety have reached the point of diagnosable disorders. He clarifies the two main types of anxiety symptoms: cognitive (thoughts like fears and worries), and somatic (physical experiences like rapid heartbeat and flushing). "Normal" anxiety, "healthy" anxiety, and dysfunctional anxiety are identified, as are various types of anxiety like social anxiety and generalized anxiety. John provides an overview of treatment for anxiety including cognitive therapy, restructuring, thought logging, peer support, lifestyle change and mindfulness. He identifies three characteristics people with anxiety typically experience: 1) Excessive need for control, being averse and reacting to uncertainty. 2) Perfectionism: living in a world of extremes with no grey area. 3) Reliance on others for approval, people pleasing. John shares the "ten minute rule", a suggestion for slowing down thoughts early, to decrease anxiety. He talks about the capacity to tolerate discomfort. John, Hannah and Alexa discuss current trends in anxiety, when anxiety can be useful, how anxiety is often pathologized as bad, the opportunity to look at anxiety as an internal warning sign and help, multitasking, setting priorities, urgency, self-compassion, therapy, neuroplasticity, treating anxiety with medication, trauma, fight-flight-freeze responses, the danger of avoidance, parenting, reducing stigma, and the importance of talking openly. The three discuss the opportunity people have in learning how to confront anxiety, tolerate discomfort, build courage, and learning their own strength. John discusses the dangers of trying to control anxiety as well as avoiding it, and instead suggests processing thoughts and using mindfulness. They discuss anxiety experienced by children and adolescents and how parents can help. He also shares about his own experience of anxiety and how he has overcome personal struggles. Broken sends a big thank you to John Tsilimparis!

Welcome back everyone, after a much needed break in December, Carmody Central is back. What a way to kick off the new year with psychotherapist and author, John Tsilimparis. Today we are discussing The Denial of Reason. We are branching off of one of John's Huffington Post articles about how many conversative candidates have rejected reason. How Ben Carson believes that Satan is partly responsible for Darwin's evolution theory. Seriously, he said that! How George W Bush said that God told him personally to free the Iraqi people. And how big of a part religion plays on the Republican side of things, especially when it comes to making laws. Believe whatever you want, I for sure am a believer in many crazy things, but you need to be logical if you're writing the laws and legislation in this crazy country we call 'merica.
Psychotherapist and anxiety specialist, John Tsilimparis, is back and this time we are discussing addiction. We start with the basics, is it a mental illness? Does self esteem play a role in developing addiction? We discuss overall destructive behavior without substance use and addictive personality types. We talk about celebrities having the mental make up to develop an addiction. Then we talk about a pressing topic, the true epidemic in the country, opiates. We are discussing oxycotin’s origins, their sales, fatal overdoses and the doctor’s that carelessly prescribe them.
John is a psychotherapist specializing in OCD, anxiety disorders, phobias and more. He’s the author of “Retrain for Anxious Brain” and he is here today to answer some questions about OCD. First we are discussing, the levels of OCD and how minor tendencies can actually be beneficial to a person. He explains that these tendencies can lay dormant or be functional for a long period of time before getting triggered and turning into impairing OCD. We talk about the differences of OCD and OCPD, personality disorders… I ask him about this new “Selfie Disorder” that just was announced earlier this week. We talk about hoarding and how it’s the same but opposite to OCD. And we are talking about if its genetic or developed. This is a really informative episode, so share with anyone you know suffering with OCD or anxiety.
