My own feeling is that counseling for this issue is kind of a crapshoot for the simple reason that clinical awareness of GSA is severely lacking. Medical studies are few and far between. Generally speaking, mental health professionals aren't trained to deal with this. Some will attempt to force the square peg into the round hole by applying a well-established standard of care for abusive incest to adult/mutual situations like yours and mine which are most definitely not the same thing.
I'm truly interested to see all the responses here. Good luck.
