Goodness no! I'd never be able to think of him as my therapist again. In fact, it's stated that it's very important that any exposure should *not* include the therapist.
My therapist was also very firm in that it should not in any way involve vomit in his office. :)
And of course it goes very slow. The idea is that you should have zero anxiety before moving to the next stage. So far I'm still having a fairly high degree of anxiety just discussing it, so we'll be stuck there for a while I suppose.
