Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQs”)

  • Is Integral Becoming psychotherapy?

    No. This is customized, embodied, psychospiritual education, not a clinical intervention. People in need of clinical help with a disease or condition should see an appropriate clinician. This modality makes no assumptions about your health other than the assumption that you are healthy enough to learn.

  • Is this work covered by insurance?

    No. Because it is not designed to be a clinical intervention to treat a disease or condition, insurers will not cover Integral Becoming. This is transformational learning, not the treatment of diseases or conditions.

  • If this work is embodied, how do you do that virtually?

    Clients find a private space, usually in their home, in which they can move their bodies and make sounds without concerns about being interrupted or disturbing others. When movement and/or vocalization are what is called for, Dr. Goddard guides his clients in safely moving and/or vocalizing via Zoom.

  • Can I work with Dr. Goddard in person?

    Yes. Dr. Goddard sees clients in person at several locations throughout the Research Triangle area.

  • I know Dr. Goddard as a retreat leader. Where does he lead retreats?

    Dr. Goddard now leads retreats in the Research Triangle area. See the “Upcoming Events” page of this website for more details.
