In my case, I got training and supervision around this issue, both generally and specifically. It is not necessarily considered gross or disgusting, but a natural part of the treatment process. It is up to the therapist and client to decide if this is too much of an issue to resolve in therapy and if so, the client would need to be referred on. It is definitely up to the therapist to maintain professional boundaries with the client in all cases, no matter how intense.
