My mentor says 'critical thinking' is an important skill for a psychologist. One should always be mindful of why something works, in what scenario this works, what are its drawbacks and how can this be streamlined. This critical thinking directly contributes to every aspect of the PERMA model. Additionally, not all ideas work for every person. Therefore experimenting with new ideas and seeing what yields the best result is important for targeted benefits. Brainstorm with the client for innovative ideas to bring them along for the journey, rather than just suggesting ideas ourselves.
