It sounds like ORT is a good way to go if you want to understand yourself better. However, if you have specific goals you want to accomplish and need help in achieving them, ORT would be kinda a waste of time. CBT is more focused on that type of thing.

My T is eclectic, and actually, I usually have no idea what the hell technique he's using. I think we probably started out more CBT, along the lines of "Well, if you're lonely, why don't you go to the senior center or take a class at the local college." I KNOW THAT ALREADY!!! I don't need to pay someone to tell me that! What I need to know is WHY I won't take any action along those lines? Why I seem to be physically unable to get off my duff and get out and meet new people. This is where ORT stuff is really helping. I'm beginning to think that if someone's life is really messed up, they should start out with CBT stuff to get things under control, and then move into ORT-type techniques if they want to go deeper. I think it's all what your goals are.
