Maybe politely ask him to not share things like that anymore. I'm sure he would be ok with it.
IDK some people like big disclosures. I find it keeps me from discussing my issues. Like I know my other T's wife works for the federal government like mine and she is also out on furlough. I wont whine about financial issues because I know he is in a similar situation but worse as he has two young kids. So I sensor my own session.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
