Kathy Jo,
As long as you do not accept yourself as you are, you will be unhappy.  I'm
sorry your religious friends told you wrongly. They were misinterpreting
the bible. The healing that Jesus was talking about, was the healing of the
spirit.

As to the word Mentor. look it up at www.dictionary.com  I agree with joy
that you can do that for yourself.
