How the RAPID Method Works
This is a structured, step-by-step treatment protocol – not open-ended therapy with no clear finish line.
Assessment and Fit
We begin with a thorough intake covering your trauma history, current symptoms, triggers, goals, and any medical factors relevant to the protocol. This step determines whether reconsolidation therapy with propranolol is the right fit for you and gives us a clear clinical map before treatment begins.
Six Structured Reconsolidation Sessions
Using propranolol-assisted reconsolidation therapy as the clinical foundation, we guide you through six focused sessions designed to reduce the emotional charge held in traumatic memories. The goal is not to rehearse the trauma - it is to help the brain update how it responds when the memory is activated, so the fear response progressively loses its grip.
Integration and Follow-Through
As treatment concludes, we review the changes you have experienced, track symptom reduction, and help consolidate your gains into daily life. NeuroWave - our proprietary neural entrainment technology - is used within the treatment framework to support deeper memory consolidation and help the nervous system settle into a calmer, more stable baseline.
PTSD PROPRANOLOL MEMORY RECONSOLIDATION THERAPY IS RECOGNIZED BY:
PTSD Is an
Injury Pattern
Not a Life Sentence
Most approaches to PTSD teach you to manage the fallout from trauma. There is a place for that – but if you have already spent years in therapy and still feel hijacked by triggers, flashbacks, and avoidance, coping strategies may simply not be enough.
The RAPID Method is built on a different premise. PTSD is a memory-based injury pattern that the brain and nervous system can update when the right process is used. Reconsolidation therapy targets the traumatic memory itself – not just the symptoms it produces. That is a fundamentally different goal, and it produces fundamentally different results.
Who this is for…
This approach may be a strong fit if you:
- Still feel emotionally hijacked by triggers, even when you know logically that you are safe
- Experience flashbacks, nightmares, hyperarousal, or body-based fear responses
- Have tried therapy before and gained some ground, but the trauma response itself never fully resolved
- Want a structured, time-limited process rather than indefinite weekly sessions
- Are ready to move from managing PTSD to resolving it
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have to relive my trauma in detail?
No flooding, no forced exposure.
No. The RAPID Method is structured and contained. The goal is not to flood you with the memory – it is to work with it in a focused, supported way that helps the brain respond differently. Many people are relieved to find this is not the kind of exposure-based process they feared.
How does telehealth work?
Same process, anywhere in the world.
Sessions are available worldwide via Zoom as well as in person in BC. We start with a consultation and intake, confirm fit and safety, walk you through exactly what to expect, and then schedule your treatment sessions. The process is consistent whether you are online or in the room.
How long does treatment take?
A clear path, not open-ended therapy.
The RAPID Method is structured around one intake session, six propranolol-assisted treatment sessions, and a follow-up. You know from the start what the path looks like and approximately where the finish line is. This is not open-ended therapy with no clear endpoint.
What changes do people typically experience?
Less intensity, more freedom.
The goal is a reduction in emotional intensity when memories or triggers arise – fewer flashbacks, less avoidance, reduced hyperarousal, and a nervous system that is no longer reacting as if the trauma is still happening now. Many clients describe the shift as the memory finally feeling like something that happened to them in the past, rather than something that keeps happening in the present.
How do I know if I am a fit?
One conversation is all it takes.
The first step is a confidential consultation where we review your symptoms, history, goals, and any medical factors relevant to the propranolol protocol. You do not need to commit to anything until you understand exactly what the process involves and whether it applies to your situation.
