To self-heal is an act of recovery, which usually hails from mental, emotional occurrences or trauma. Self-healing can also be physical but this is a little different from mental, emotional or trauma based healing.
The importance of self-healing is to acknowledge hurt and pain. Due to these two, it is easy for people to shut the world out or close up on people. They will then believe that emotions and everything relating to it will only cause pain and regrets. But in reality, pain and regrets are well-known and cannot be avoided.
To completely accept these negatives, self-healing is needed. Not healing sometimes signifies that you have not moved on. Let us be honest here, there is this burden you feel when you hold on to grudges or hate.
Self-healing is instinct based so one cannot be forced to heal. Instead, they are allowed to grow through various stages of grief and tears and even hate. You can hate that person who hurt you so much for as long as you can because only you knows how much it hurts and how you feel.
