I would definitely tell the therapist your family history. And as others have said, maybe say something like "I think I may have this disorder as I've read about it a bit and it really resonates with me".

I don't think a therapist would brush you off as a hypochondriac

(If they did this would be wrong and very hurtful)

See how she reacts and proceed from there
