Sometimes I find myself doing unhealthy/risky behaviors (like having unprotected sex) not because I can't resist doing them or because I'm stupid, but because I want to tell my therapist (depending on the therapist) that I did this stupid thing and then I want them to tell me not to do those things. I'll take even that "negative" attention, because I guess to me it is just another way for someone to show that they care about me.

Yes! Negative attention is still attention and when you're craving it negative or positive you'll take it. What happens for you if therapist doesn't respond how you wish? Can you handle that or does the behavior continue to spiral?
