I Love Us Licensed Marriage Therapist & Family Therapist•Certified S*x Therapist •ART Trained Therapist • Ph.D Candidate•Trauma Therapist

"I LOVE US" is a private practice dedicated to relationship and intimacy counseling. I have a passion for helping people (singles and couples) grow toward wholeness in relationships with themselves, with others, and with God. This may include identifying and changing unhealthy patterns, processing through traumas, working with issues in intimacy, and understanding the practical application of spirituality. While my faith is important to me, I respect that not all clients want matters of faith incorporated into their therapy experience. I'm happy to accommodate to many populations. I adore the Chattanooga area and want to do my part in helping people to thrive in their personal lives and families- helping to create a healthier and happier "City of Lights".

This is a very underrated, but incredibly important episode on my podcast “The Healthy S*x Podcast”.

It’s Episode #4 and it’s about our arousal templates; and when we get confused about what we get s*xually turned on by.

Our culture is incredibly hyper s*xualized, so that means there’s s*xual stimuli all around us. The brain 🧠 is designed to get turned on by erotic stimuli, but what happens when you find yourself aroused by things that you morally object to 🧐? What happens when you can’t get turned on with just your partner, but need third-party stimuli present to get excited?

I hope you’ll take a listen🎧. My prayer is that this helps you better understand your body, your mind, and your response cycles. 🔁

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DEMONS
😍🥰💔👺👿👹🖤
(What That Really Means For Empaths)

Let me talk to the ones who feel everything.

You’ve probably seen that phrase:
“S*xually transmitted demons.”
Sounds crazy until you live it.

Let me break it down in plain language.



1. It’s not about disease. It’s about ENERGY.

This ain’t a medical term.
Nobody at the hospital is diagnosing you with “STDs – demons.”

This is street-church language for something very real:

When you sleep with somebody, you’re not just swapping bodies.
You’re opening your spirit and your nervous system to whatever they carry.

If they’re:
• cold, cruel, jealous, addicted
• manipulative, violent, sneaky
• full of shame, self-hate, emptiness

…you’re not just sharing a night.
You’re sharing weight.



2. For empaths, s*x is a nervous-system MERGER.

When you lay down with someone, your body dumps:
• dopamine (reward – “go back”)
• oxytocin (bond – “this is my person”)

Your nervous system says:

“We’re safe with them. Attach.”

But if that person’s energy is dark, your system starts mirroring the darkness:
• mood swings that don’t feel like you
• heaviness, confusion, or random anger
• losing yourself, losing your peace
• feeling “off” after being around them but can’t explain why

Church folks call that demons.
Therapists call it trauma bonding and emotional contagion.

I call it this:

You slept with someone whose soul was dirty, and now your nervous system is paying the bill.



3. “A piece of them stays with you” is not just a quote.

You ever notice:

You were doing fine before them.
Then after that s*xual connection:
• you think like them
• you crave like them
• you tolerate what you swore you’d never accept

That’s what people mean when they say “soul tie” or “s*xually transmitted demons.”
They’re trying to describe how their darkness starts living inside your body.

Especially for empaths:

You don’t just catch feelings.
You catch frequencies.



4. This is why your spirit hated certain people even while your body wanted them.

Ever been in bed with somebody and something deep in you whispered:

“I don’t belong here.”

But the chemistry was crazy.
The trauma was loud.
The loneliness was loud.
So you stayed.

Then later you’re fighting:
• depression that ain’t yours
• anger that ain’t yours
• shame that ain’t yours

That’s what this “s*xually transmitted demons” talk is trying to warn you about.



5. How to DETOX from this

If you know you slept with someone who carried darkness, here’s the work:
• No contact. Stop reopening the portal you’re trying to close.
• Let your nervous system reset. Time, rest, solitude.
• Spiritual cleanup (if that’s your lane) – prayer, fasting, journaling, crying it out.
• Name what isn’t yours:
“This rage is not mine. This shame is not mine. I picked this up from THEM.”
• Rebuild boundaries so you don’t keep trading your peace for 20 minutes of attention.



6. The rule for empaths going forward

If their energy is chaotic before s*x,
that same energy will be living in your chest after s*x.

Read that again.

You are not built like everybody else.
You’re sensitive, not weak.
Your nervous system is open, not broken.

That’s a gift – but in the wrong bed, it becomes a curse.



You can call it soul ties.
You can call it trauma.
You can call it s*xually transmitted demons.

The language don’t matter as much as the lesson:

Everybody’s body is not safe for your spirit.

Guard your energy like it’s your last heartbeat.
Because for an empath… sometimes it is.

I’m going to keep re-sharing this as much as I need to.

The spirit of hopelessness 😣continues to show itself in and outside of the office. If you don’t want to listen to the entire seven minutes of this video, please fast-forward to the end where I pray out loud to break off a spirit of despair, Su***de, hopelessness in Jesus name.🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🦁🪽👑

Office #1: I was gifted this fiddle leaf fig by a nurse years ago, and it has remained in the corner of my office for quite some time.

This is literally the shape it has grown into 🥹❤️🫶🏽

I don’t know what this says about me as a therapist, but I’ve had three different sets of clients bring me some version of a disco ball. 🪩
