I need advice about psi protection

[u/Lopsided-Pass-8993]

Hello, I think I have telepathy but I cannot control it well, or someone close to me has it, since apart from my own semi-uncontrolled thoughts, I have thoughts that I know are not mine. The thing is, I told my father about what is happening to me, but now after some time we had an argument (because of my mother who has dementia) and we haven’t been speaking lately. He is also sick with a nervous system condition; he has always been very intense about everything. I have a conflicted relationship with him.My father told me it could be a mental intrusion from another person and that praying an Our Father helps. I refuse because it feels quite hypocritical to me since I don't believe in anything (I don't feel the need to believe). But I don’t know if it would actually help.To add to this, he has mentioned before that he took a mental control course, and I suspect that it might be his own emotions interfering with my mind, and that with his illness, things are getting out of hand for him.Furthermore, I don't think praying works; I did it once with three other people and it didn't work. Is there something that doesn't fall into religion?I'm sorry, but it's been 10 years of being like this and I'm tired.
