I voted other. My current therapist doesn't really act protective, but during a couple of stories I shared with him, he said something like, "That makes me really angry for you." It bordered on protective or felt like he was taking a stand for me. I didn't know how to feel about it. It validated my experiences, but also, I didn't know if his feelings were sincere or if he just wanted me to think they were. My T stays pretty neutral and I guess that works for me.
