- Good therapists across different approaches share core competencies that can guide effective therapy.
- Stefan Hoffmann calls for focusing on these core skills rather than rigid training tribalism.

- This led to confusion, emotional discomfort, and a friend-like dynamic that undermined therapy.

- Clients shouldn't feel they must carry emotional burdens for their therapist.
