Answer: He loves Big Brother

Step-by-step explanation:

By the end of the novel, Winston has been released from the Ministry of Love where he had been tortured and brainwashed. As he finds a picture of Big Brother, he realizes that he loves him and has completely accepted the Party´s rule. The healing change he refers to is his turn from rejecting and resisting the Party into complete obedience.
