aftercare
Aftercare refers to the support and assistance provided to individuals following a particular event, treatment, or program, in order to promote continued healing, recovery, or progress. It usually involves planned activities, resources, and services that help individuals maintain and sustain positive outcomes achieved during the initial phase of a process or program. Aftercare often aims to prevent relapse, reinforce new skills and behaviors, address ongoing needs, and enhance overall well-being. It can be tailored to specific contexts such as healthcare, rehabilitation, education, or personal development.

Aftercare
In the context of the sexual practice of BDSM, aftercare is the process of attending to one another after intense feelings of a physical or psychological nature relating to BDSM activities. BDSM experiences can be exhausting; and drain the participants of mental, emotional or physical energy. As a result, one or all participants may require emotional support, comfort, reassurance, and/or physical tenderness. Along with this, he or she may experience everything from an exhilaration to traumatization. Aftercare also may include a review or “debriefing” of the activities from experiences of both the dominant and the submissive. Some participants may wish to be left alone or have other means of processing the experience. While the desire to be left alone could stem from just needing rest, it could also result from no longer feeling safe in the current environment or situation. Common aftercare practices may include hugging, kissing, hair-stroking, cuddling, words of praise or gratitude, or general affirmation of an emotional bond between partners. Occasionally, more "vanilla" sexual activities such as intercourse or oral sex following an intense scene may also be considered as part of aftercare.
