Post away if it helps but I have a separate and private twitter account just for me for moments when I need to get things off my chest.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, regardless of if ex- T and current T thinking it could work- theory and practice are often different. there's other T's he could see and there is no guarantee he would even click with your T. I don't see why you should have to deal with the added pressure of censoring yourself in sessions when you're supposed to be able to be able to talk freely.
I would just ask your friend to stop talking about therapy with you, as it seems they're not able to respect your reasonable request.

I love the Calm app. Did a meditation. Slightly less wired now. Took a long walk, did grounding etc for the past IDK how long.
Now thinking I'll channel the BUZZ into posts on Reddit because composing stuff where I got to think slows my brain down.

Not personal posts but links to research and commentary haha.
I know you're right that he might not click with my T.
I wish my T would say she won't take him on...
Honestly I really don't want him to see my T. He himself might not want to as well because T knows a lot about him due to me :/ Like I'm not "gossiping" about him in a mean way to my T but talking about my issues related to my friendships, secondary trauma I experience because sometimes he discloses horrific stuff...
And honestly while I've always focused on my issues, my reactions etc, T knows a lot...which should they be therapist-client...shoukd be things he reveals only when comfortable. :/
And that other friend... They replied "lol" when I asked them to not talk about their therapy to me. Ugh...
