I chose "other". I am the leader of my therapy. My therapist doesn't give homework and she doesn't guide sessions apart from the thee very rare occasion when I front up and say "I've got nothing today, what shall we do?" Then she will suggest a thread of something or another and I will choose whether to run with it or not.
I am very active and very driven in my therapy. Because I am very dissociative she does have a better overall view of what is going on with me and sometimes she will very subtly suggest or guide some thing or another. Very subtly though, like laying two dissociated threads nearer to each other on the table. If it feels meaningful I pick up the threads and run with them, weaving some fabric that is useful to me in some way.
But I am the tailor. She doesn't have the pattern. All she does is sit beside me and hold the loose threads until I am ready to pick them up and weave them into my fabric.
We often chat while I weave.
