sexual assault

So my last relationship was horrible. It only lasted a month thank god. But I fell into his trap and he took advantage of me. He would force himself on me when I didn't want it, he'd call me names, tell me things about my look he didn't like. He was just horrible. But I stayed as long as I did because he kept saying he loved me so I fell for it. I finally opened up about what he did to me and told the truth about it and I'm gonna start therapy next week. But how does someone get over something like this? It's so scary to think about.
