They need therapy, and they will not have the need to feel protected .
Self Protection keeps the individual in their own perpetual living nightmare, and eventually it will happen again.
People who protect themselves put up a barrier y having boundaries, they display intense fears, paranoia, and panic attacks.
People who believe they are being protected spiritually, are being protected by their own inner demon(s).
They believe by being protected bad things will not happen to them, however this is a lie. Bad things still happen to them, and they deny it and live in a fantasy.
Protection is a scam, people who believe they are protected go round instigating trouble, and they believe nothing bad will happen to them. (CRAZY)
These type of people hide their painful experiences and make out the majority of the time they are being protected by a higher force, yeah demonic.
They always say, their being told their special, yeah special needs.
