catharsis/emotional discharge


Explanation:
These are terms most used in therapies. Throwing up is what it comes down to, and yes, it's rarely seen as positive, although the effect usually is quite so.

Unburdening


Explanation:
In this context “unburdening” seems to be closer to the meaning of “Kropfleerung”.
“unburden yourself
to free yourself of something that is worrying you, by talking about it to someone” from Cambridge Dictionaries.
The term “Kropfleerung” is used in two different contexts in German: either meaning to let off steam, or to cry on someone’s shoulder.
