Mariage Counseling W/ personal Counseling

Does anyone here have any good experiences with MC and PC combined. My wife and I are separated and on the verge of divorce. I begged her to try some counseling when she dropped her bomb on me. She refused, took our daughter and split. Things go ugly, brutal. Heading for that scorched earth divorce. I however have stayed true to my belief that things can change, things can be fixed. I begged her after giving her some time to cool off, and see that my resolve has not changed. Suddenly about 2 weeks ago she tells me that she is seeing a therapist. Then out of the blue she mentions joint therapy. I was ecstatic to say the least. I even scheduled some personal therapy for myself. We have had one session together and she has had 3. I am still waiting for my 1st. Things are touchy right now but it is just the beginning. Is combining the two therapies a good thing or not. Most of our problems have been forgetting how to communicate effectively since our daughter was born. So for the last 4 years things have been getting rocky. We have been together for 12 years. I am completely open to what is said. Our first session opened my eyes even more than they already have been. I just hope that I can learn to behave like I did years ago and not slip into my old habits. Is it possible for a person to truly change?
