3 Steps to Recover from Domestic Abuse

Unfortunately, domestic violence still prevails even in the most civilized countries of the world. There are many legal measures that can be taken against it but still, there are many women who suffers because of it.

A dysfunctional relationship can be a very hard experience to go through. First thing that you need to do if you find yourself in such a painful and unpleasant situation is to get out of it. You deserve to be treated so much better! Indulging in such a relationship will only damage your personality and also your sexuality. You will feel unappreciated and underestimated on a regular basis. If you went through such an experience and got out of it, you might need to work on rediscovering yourself. You need to recharge your self-worth that was lost while you were entrapped in the abusive relationship. Here are some of the things that you have to consider in working on rebuilding yourself and overcoming such hapless situation.

1. Take your time to understand the situation

Soon after you break out of domestic abuse, you will need to ponder on what happened to you; to your relationship and up to what extent did it take a toll on you. Only when you accept the fact can you identify what you need to correct. Identifying your faults will help you decide to work on yourself so you won’t repeat the mistakes of the past. Understanding yourself again will also prepare you for a brighter future and happier relationships. You might need some therapy in order to overcome this process, but it is all worth it in the end. Be open and talk about your problems and struggles with your closest friends and family members. You don’t have to go through it alone. However, it is also important to get some time alone in order to gather your thoughts and learn how to deal with the consequences of an abusive relationship. Things will get easier over time, but you need to go through the healing process to reach overall recovery.

2. Start dating again

Dating again might be difficult after you go through an abusive relationship. You might lose the ability to trust people and also to trust yourself. Regaining that trust can only be done by meeting new people and opening yourself to new opportunities that can benefit your life. Start dating or at least make yourself available as soon as you feel ready to try again. Don’t let your past experiences define who you are to a negative extent.

It is important to learn from your past. What matters even more is to be able to move on and put the negative experiences behind you. If you are ready to do that, you might meet a lot of admirable people that can help you regain your self-esteem and confidence that you need. Also, you might meet the love of your life sooner than you expect, your new chance in love and life. Hopefully, when that time comes, you will get the love and care and respect that you receive.

3. Try new fetishes and fantasies

Continuing to have an active sex life is very important as well. Sex doesn’t only bring us pleasure but it also builds our self-esteem and helps us appreciate ourselves. Don’t postpone your masturbation sessions because they are the key to a future healthy sex life with your potential partner. Grab your dildo, vibrator or other favorite sex toy and give yourself some intense sexual pleasure and satisfaction!

If you already have a partner, try experiencing new fetishes together such as bondage styles or even pet and pony play in order to develop your sex life and spice things up when you need to. Most likely, your partner has some naughty ideas that they want to try with you so all you need is to keep an open mind and don’t set up unnecessary limits for yourself!
