Argh! I feel your frustration. It sounds like you were trying a new behavior that was encouraged by your therapist. And now that behavior is not as popular as would be liked, and your therapist is telling you that it was a bad thing to do? I hate that feeling - that you didn't want to do something to start with, and now you are in trouble for doing it!!!
I would definately talk about this in miniscule detail with your therapist. This CAN'T be the message that she is intending to send to you (Do what I suggest and then I'll punish you for it). So either you heard something that she didn't say, or she said something that she didn't mean. At least, I hope so. Since she's been working with you on this area, it would be best to be really sure that you understand what she is trying to say (or that she understands why what she is trying to say is rediculous...)
Good luck. Don't give up. Keep talking. It will be worth it.
