Question: 

Should my husband, the betrayer, continue with his individual counselor who just happens to be a female or would it be more appropriate for my husband only to have individual therapy with a male therapist? He has been going to the female counselor for about 4 months. We just finished our EMS weekend and I have a lot trust issues as well as concern about his grooming behavior in the past.
