That can also be reinforcing. Both positive and negative reinforcers. It's better (imo, of course) to not do anything. You are the one responsible for your own behaviors. Do you want to stop the behavior? Why not focus on what causes it, the triggers, and what you can do to help yourself NOT do it?

Another thought: Did you tell her you wanted to puke to see if she would really comfort you like she said?
I agree, I thought it very strange behaviour by a therapist.
