My H and I did marriage counselling in the beginning (so last century). It was the place where we learned that I have depression and anxiety. We did a three month separation (well, H stayed in State A to finish his doctorate and I moved to State B to start mine). We've been together since. Two weeks ago my T suggested that H join me so the three of us can talk about parenting our teens. I find it helpful that she will see us as a couple and me individually. In our recent joint session, I said that I felt like H and T were ganging up on me and saying it was all my fault. They both said, at the same time, that wasn't true. So today in my individual session I hope to discuss how it is possible that after being in therapy for decades, my depression voice in my head still dominates.
I know that I am wandering off topic here. In a nutshell, marriage counseling saved our marriage in the 1990's so it worked for us.
