Aftercare for Doms?

There is a lot that us Doms can carry in the dynamic with our subs. The amount of mental and emotional (and at times physical) strain that it requires to be the fixed point of leading by serving our strength can wear on any human. Personally speaking, there are moments after a scene or just in our dynamic where I find myself benefitting from the tenderness and affirmation of my sub that provides a very much appreciated release and relief from having to be “on”, all the while still being and feeling like her Dom. So I don’t mean being a switch in the dynamic necessarily.

So as the title simply suggests, is there such a thing as aftercare for Doms? And if so, what could that entail that may or may not be different for a sub?

For other Doms, what may you require of your subs in aftercare for yourself? For subs, what may you offer your Dom as a source of release? All answers are welcome.
