So at my last session somehow my mom and her strange religious beliefs came up. She (mom) does mission work and believes she can do what Jesus did in the Bible (heal the sick, cleanse the leapers, raise the dead, and teach others to do the same). I am of the stance...heal the sick...maybe, but raise the dead...no way. T seemed to agree with me. My mom is very open with this as it is her job description on Facebook.

Then T asked if I ever asked my mom if she heard voices or was suspicious of people. I said no and that I doubt she would tell me if I did ask. T replied with, "She openly tells people she can raise the dead, she could be open with that too, you should ask her." T is thinking my symptoms might be heriditary and that if they are I should make sure I let my pdoc know becuase it could change my treatment plan.

I just don't know how to bring it up to ask my mom. I mean it would be pretty weird just to come out and ask "do you hear things" or "are you ever suspicious of people". How do you go about asking something like that?

As you may have read in previous posts by me, I am finding a pdoc closer to home. I see the "new" pdoc at the end of the month and should probably know if my mom has similar symptoms to me so I can tell him if he wants to know.

Any advice on how to ask my mom about these things?
