I'm relatively new here, but would like to respond. My sense is that healing can mean fully accepting a situation that is unlikely to change. It can include self understanding, self awareness and self acceptance. From my reading, "integration" is held out as some arbitrary goal based on a limited understanding of what a "self" is and on a single preferred outcome predicated on some psychological norm. I think there are many ways for human beings to express consciousness and to participate in society. I do not think that being human requires a single unified "self" identity that must conform to a certain historically conditioned way of thinking, acting, being.
