How it works

The arc, in full.

Bedrock is a defined program with a beginning and an end — an expedition, not an open-ended appointment. Five stages, each with a job.

1. 01

   Fit call

   Twenty minutes, free, by phone or video. You say what's actually going on — or as much of it as you can name. We tell you honestly whether this work fits it.

   Mutual means mutual: you're screening us too. If it's not a fit, you'll leave with a straight answer and, where we can offer one, a better-suited referral. No pitch, no pressure, no follow-up sequence that won't take no for an answer.

2. 02

   Medical + psychological screening

   Ketamine work has real contraindications. Certain cardiac conditions, some psychiatric histories (including psychosis-spectrum conditions), uncontrolled blood pressure, and some substance-use patterns rule it out — full stop.

   Screening covers medical history, current medications, and psychological readiness, in coordination with medical oversight. Being screened out is a real outcome and we treat it as a success of the process, not a failure of yours.

3. 03

   Preparation

   You don't go into the terrain cold. Preparation sessions map your system in IFS terms — which parts run your days, what they're protecting, what you're going in to meet — and set clear intentions for the medicine work.

   You'll also learn the practical craft: how the sessions run, what the medicine tends to feel like, how to navigate when defenses soften, and how to signal what you need. Preparation can often be done remotely.

4. 04

   Medicine sessions

   In-person, in Central Oregon, in a controlled therapeutic setting. Sub-anesthetic doses, medical protocols, a clinician with you the entire time. Eyeshades, music, and an IFS frame held throughout — this is guided inner work, not a drug experience with a therapist in the room.

   What most men report isn't a 'trip.' It's the noise going quiet — the manager stepping back, the vigilance easing — and finally getting a clear look at what's been running underneath.

5. 05

   Integration

   This is where the experiment most therapy skips actually happens. Integration sessions take what surfaced in the medicine work and build it into daily life: how you work, how you father, how you partner, what you stop doing.

   The descent is the dramatic part. Integration is the part that changes Tuesday morning. We weight the arc accordingly.
